Amritsar's Golden Temple

“This is Punjab, not India”, a girl was told at the Golden Temple in Punjab’s Amritsar as she was reportedly denied entry into the famed temple because of having the Indian flag painted on her face.

A video of the incident that went viral on social media platforms on Monday, shows a Golden Temple staffer telling the girl that “this is Punjab, not India”, as he denies her entry inside the premises due her having the Indian tricolour painted on her face.

Meanwhile, Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee General Secretary Gurcharan Singh Grewal while apologizing for any misbehavior, claimed that the flag on the young woman’s face wasn’t a tricolour as it did not have the Ashok Chakra and might have been the flag of some political outfit.

Grewal said the Golden Temple, like every religious place, has its own set of rules and its own decorum and while everyone is welcome to visit, they have to respect the Sikh shrine’s decorum and rules.

Grewal apologized to the woman for the official’s misbehavior, however, he said the flag on her face was not the ‘Tiranga’ as it was missing the Ashok Chakra and could’ve been a political flag.

Gurcharan Singh Grewal rued that Sikhs who played a vital role in India’s independence from the British, are still the most targeted community in the country.

Meanwhile, a video of the incident was widely shared and viewed on social media sites on Monday and sparked outrage among users as they demanded an investigation into the alleged incident.

Some have attributed the incident to the alleged spread of pro-Khalistan ideology and separatism in Punjab as they dubbed the temple official who stopped the girl as a “Khalistani radical.”

One user claimed that Punjab has become a “hub of Khalistani terrorism” where “real Indians” aren’t welcome anymore.

Soon after the post went viral, people praised the actor’s commitment and couldn’t stop gushing over him. A user compared him to actor Christian Bale. Damn, our own Christian Bale Nailed it, the fan commented. Christian Bale of Bollywood, another fan called him. Wow Randeep bro proud of you, a third admirer said, expressing pride in him. A forth user called him a true inspiration. Others also dropped the red heart and fire emojis in the comment section.

A few days ago, on the 26th death anniversary of the late politician Veer Savarkar, Randeep posted photographs and shocking information on his Instagram handle, sharing that he had spent time in jail to understand what the politician and activist may have gone through. However, the actor did acknowledge that he was unable to remain there for even 20 minutes.

Ranjit Savarkar, the grandson of Savarkar, revealed a day ago that during Randeep’s jail time in the Andaman cellular jail, he had lost up to 30 kg of weight in order to resemble the late freedom fighter. In addition, he praised the actor for his commitment to the part and expressed gratitude for bringing the freedom fighter’s story to the big screen.

Meanwhile, in the film, Ankita Lokhande will be seen playing a significant role as Yamunabai as well. The film is slated to hit theaters on March 22, 2024.
