Popular Bollywood singer Neha Kakkar and her husband, fellow singer Rohanpreet Singh, have reportedly received a life threat from Nihang Maan Singh Akali of the Baba Budha Dal, a Sikh religious group. In a video posted on social media, Nihang Maan Singh sternly warned Neha Kakkar to keep her husband “behind the scenes” and implied that their public behavior was crossing the line of decency. This development comes as a shock, especially after recent threats to other celebrities in the industry.
Warning Against Indecent Behavior
In his video message, Maan Singh criticized the couple, accusing them of spreading indecency and negatively impacting Punjabi culture. He made it clear that any objectionable actions would not be tolerated, warning that those responsible would be dealt with seriously. According to Singh, first-time offenders will be advised peacefully, but repeat actions will result in harsher consequences, even if it means jail time.
Singh’s words were directed not only at Neha and Rohanpreet but also at others who he claims are contributing to the “ruin” of Punjab by promoting inappropriate content on social media. He expressed concern over the growing influence of celebrities in spreading what he believes is harmful material.
“You Are Ruining Punjab’s Culture”
In his sharp criticism, Maan Singh urged Neha and Rohanpreet to reconsider their public actions and be more responsible in their influence over young people. He accused the couple, along with others in the entertainment industry, of damaging Punjab’s cultural fabric and warned that the Sikh community would not allow such behavior to go unchecked.
Singh also referenced the larger social issues of drug use and moral decline, asserting that they were partly fueled by the actions of public figures like Neha and Rohanpreet. He emphasized that while he respects real leaders and Sardars, many public figures who adopt Sikh identity for personal gain were misleading the youth.
Who is Nihang Maan Singh?
Nihang Maan Singh Akali belongs to the revered Baba Budha Dal and is known for his vocal stance on social and cultural issues, particularly within the Sikh community. He often raises his voice against what he sees as obscenity and disrespect toward Sikh traditions, and he takes an active role in safeguarding the community’s values.
Maan Singh has a reputation for addressing public figures directly, and he has even shared his number on social media, encouraging people to contact him regarding issues of moral conduct. His warnings to Neha Kakkar are part of his broader mission to eliminate indecency in society, with a particular focus on Punjabi culture.
A Growing Trend of Threats in Bollywood
This recent threat to Neha Kakkar comes in the wake of similar dangers faced by other Bollywood celebrities. Salman Khan has been under the radar of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, and comedian Munawar Farooqui has also been linked to the hit list of organized crime groups. With these escalating tensions, it seems more and more Bollywood personalities are finding themselves entangled in controversies over their public behavior.
As the entertainment industry continues to evolve, the balance between creative expression and public perception remains a complex issue. For Neha Kakkar and Rohanpreet Singh, the road ahead may require careful navigation to avoid further conflict.
