Superstar Amitabh Bachchan's mother Mrs. Teji Bachchan is from a known Punjabi Family. ![]() India's topmost Punjabi singers and legends include Late Mohammed Rafi, Mahendra Kapoor and lyricists like Sahir Ludhianwi, Anand Bakshi and many Music Directors like Ravi and many more. Though these singers have left this world, they have surely been path breakers and trailblazers for the coming music lovers. India's principal and top selling Hindi Movies industry have been dominated by Punjabis in such a way that without them the industry will be absolutely colourless. One may notice the presence of at least one Punjabi song in every film, which surely hints us the way how Punjabi language and its singers are creating a niche for themselves in this fraternity. Singers like Gurdas Mann, Daler Mehndi, Mika Mehndi, Hans Raaj Hans and so many new comers have been a part of this industry that are on a progressive path for themselves and for the Punjabi culture. Though, some unheard names they are yet successful in taking the Punjabi culture to a great heights like never before. ![]() Punjabi Films like Nanak Naam Jahaz hai, Chann Pardesi did very good business. In recent times too, movies like Jee Aiya Nu and Yaran Naal Baharan have been produced by T-Series and have been accepted well by the audience. New actors like Harbhajan Mann, Jimmy Shergil, Priya Gilland Juhi Babbar are all actors who have contributed in the recent Punjabi regional films. The future for Punjabi films is not grim and seems to be improving with time. If India and Pakistani governments allow more interaction, a great future for Punjabi cinema can be foreseen, as top class Punjabi films could be produced as with the help of top class film techniques used in Bombay (Mumbai).
