Mumbai, July 30 Businessman-actor Raj Kundra took to social media to share how wearing a turban for his debut film, “Mehar,” became a deeply meaningful experience.

He revealed that the role not only marked a milestone in his acting journey but also strengthened his connection with Sikh tradition and values. On Tuesday, Raj took to his Instagram handle and shared a video where he is wearing a turban for his role of Karamjeet Singh in the movie. The clip also features moments from the film and behind-the-scenes glimpses. Alongside it, Raj Kundra penned a heartfelt note saying wearing a turban for the first time in his debut film, "Mehar," was not just a part of his role, it was a moment that touched his soul.

He wrote, “Wearing a turban for the first time in my debut film Mehar was not just a part of my role it was a moment that touched my soul. The weight of that dastaar came with a deep sense of responsibility and pride. Since that day, I’ve made a conscious choice to always keep my hair covered and embrace the beautiful principles of Sikhi not just in appearance, but as a way of life. It has grounded me, guided me, and connected me to a community I deeply respect and now feel a part of. I carry this honour with humility and love in my heart for Punjab and its people.”

“Thank you @inderpreet_turbanator for tying my turban and @therakeshmehta.de director ji for visualising my look and bringing Karamjeet Singh to life. And last but NOT least, @designer_noor14 for all my amazing looks in the movie! You are just an amazing human being Your eye for detail, cultural elegance, and authenticity helped me live Karamjeet, not just play him. Thank you ji,” added Kundra.

The forthcoming Punjabi film “Mehar,” directed by Rakesh Mehta, boasts an ensemble cast including Baninder Bunny, Savita Bhatti, Rupinder Rupi, Deep Mandeep, Ashish Duggal, Hobby Dhaliwal, Tarsem Paul, and Kulvir Sony. The film is set to hit theatres on September 5, 2025.
