Sanjeev Kohli

Scottish comedian and actor, known for his roles as Navid Harrid in the sitcom Still Game and AJ Jandhu in the soap opera River City.

Born into a Sikh family, he had this to say in an interview in The Scotsman in 2018:

"I rejected God pretty early doors, so what was the point [of wearing a turban]? I think Sikhism as a religion is the coolest because it preaches all the right things: tolerance, defending your right to believe what you want whether that’s Sikhism or not, men and women working together, abolishing the caste system and not standing back when people are being oppressed... so I like it as a philosophy, but because God’s in the equation, I rejected it. I still have massive respect for Sikhs."
