Super Sikh’s inner qualities include – protector of loved ones, strong and calm, and his outer qualities include – turban, beard and weapons. Once I saw these qualities in Super Sikh, I became inspired to paint him. I love to paint characters that have these warrior-saint qualities, those are the best kind.

A few years ago there were no decent sikh characters in popular Indian media. They were mostly jokers, caricatures and minor characters. So I always felt that there should be some solid sikh characters, heroes, super heroes, etc in the media. That trend has started changing, however as far as comics are concerned, we still need positive sikh characters in comics. Super Sikh is perfect for that.

The Warrior-Saint

Super Sikh’s inner qualities include – protector of loved ones, strong and calm, and his outer qualities include – turban, beard and weapons. Once I saw these qualities in Super Sikh, I became inspired to paint him. I love to paint characters that have these warrior-saint qualities, those are the best kind.

Love for Superheroes

I love super heroes and I have always been involved in making all kinds of heroic characters. A lot of my art from 2006-2008 is about Sikh super heroes, powerful Sikh mutants who have different powers and different personalities. So when I heard about this project, Super Sikh, it was right up my alley. I became super excited and I lept over tall buildings in enthusiasm, faster than a speeding bullet.
