Description

Sadly an Indian movie icon died. Be one of the few people that knows how to pronounce his name correctly.

The actor that is sitting on the back of this bike, died aged 89.Who is he?

He was a Punjabi man. Don’t believe me, look on Wikipedia. Born on 8th December 1935, his name is often incorrectly mispronounced as Duhmindra. But this is an incorrect pronunciation. So perhaps it’s time to learn how to say his name correctly. You know respect, and all that?
His name, when written in Punjabi, starts with this letter, known as a dhadda, it is pronounced with a Tee sound, not a Dee sound. His name is not the only Punjabi word that is pronounced incorrectly. The famous drum is correctly pronounced tall, not dhol. People who have this Punjabi name are not called dhillon, it is tillor. This name is thami, not dharmi. And for these sames reasons, the superb actor who sadly died, is called Tarmindra, not darmindra. 
Found that interesting? Others might too. Share it, I don’t mind.
