AMRITSAR: Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and Sikh women leadership have objected to Bollywood actress and one-time porn star Sunny Leone 's upcoming web series ‘Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story of Sunny Leone’. A person who didn’t follow the teachings of Sikh Gurus shouldn’t use the word Kaur as this could hurt Sikh religious feelings. They are upset with producers using ‘Kaur’ in the series.SGPC’s additional secretary and spokesperson Diljit Singh Bedi said on Friday, “Kaur is a very respectable and exalted name given by Sikh gurus to Sikh women. Sikhs will not allow her to use it. A boy’s name should be suffixed with ‘Singh’ and girl’s name with ‘Kaur’.Echoing similar views, president of the Istri Akali Dal, Bibi Jagir Kaur, said, “She is using the word Kaur for making her biopic a success, unaware of the fact that the same could hurt Sikh religious sentiments.” She opined that instead of using the word Kaur, she could use Sunny Leone sine Kaur was a righteous and illustrious surname of Sikh women signifying Sikh values which had been the guiding principles of the community.
