Randeep Hooda apologises to Guru Granth Sahib for not living upto his promise

Actor Randeep Hooda shared that he has apologised to Guru Granth Sahib as he couldn't live up to his promise of not cutting hair before the release of his ambitious film 'Battle of Saragarhi'.

'Battle of Saragarhi' is currently on hold.

Randeep also shared his gratitude as the film has brought him to understand Sikhs and Sikhism closely.


"I put in a lot of effort (for the film), I left smoking and when things didn't turn out the way we expected I felt hurt and bare. Even after bearing the losses I waited for three years for the movie only because I had taken a pledge at the Guru Granth Sahib after visiting the memorial," reported IANS quoting the actor.

However, the actor had to unwillingly move on as the film was not materialising, "As I had to move ahead in life I visited the Gurudwara to pray, where all I could do was apologise as I had to do my Karma and my karma is being an actor so I had to continue to do it."

Sharing the reason behind tendering his apology to the holy scripture, he further mentioned: "I apologised to the Guru Granth Sahib for not being able to live up to the promise of not cutting my hair till the movie reaches its conclusion. But if I had gotten stuck, there would have been no Gurnam. This sense of entitlement to give back to the people who wronged you in the same way, is a wrong thought; a negative way of living life."

The Akshay Kumar-starrer 'Kesari' was also based on the 'Battle of Saragarhi' fought in 1897 between the Afghan and British Raj tribesmen before the Tirah Campaign.

Randeep Hooda's revenge drama CAT is set to arrive on December 9, Netflix announced Friday.
