Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh’s ancestral roots in Karachi have captured fresh attention amid the growing popularity of his latest film, Dhurandhar. According to Indian entertainment platform Instant Bollywood, Singh’s family belongs to the Sindhi Hindu community that once lived in Karachi before migrating to India during the 1947 partition. His relatives later settled in Mumbai, where Ranveer Singh Bhavnani rose to prominence in Indian cinema.
The connection to Karachi has become a topic of interest as Dhurandhar, a spy thriller starring Singh, sparks widespread conversation on social media across the region. While audiences in India are creating humorous content inspired by scenes from the film that parody cultural misunderstandings, viewers in Pakistan have reacted to the movie’s portrayal of Pakistani settings and characters, with critics highlighting factual inaccuracies and what they describe as exaggerated elements.
These developments underscore how Singh’s family history and the film’s cross-border impact are fostering engagement with cultural and historical ties between India and Pakistan, even as entertainment content drives lively debate.
