Did Chamkila Cheat On Both His Wives?

Reddit

The Reddit post reads, ¡°I enjoyed Chamkila, but while discussing it with others, I decided to search for more information. I knew Amarjot Kaur had been previously married, as had Chamkila. I found out Chamkila had two daughters with his first wife, not sure if Amarjot has any kids with her first husband, and Amarjot and Chamkila had two kids together (one who had passed away soon after them, and a son who is still alive). However, some articles claim that his second daughter with his first wife was born after his son with Amarjot Kaur. If true, why was this detail omitted from the Chamkila movie.¡±

Reacting to it, one wrote, ¡°Yes, it's true there. Everyone in the music industry at the time, including Amarjot, was unaware he was already married.¡±

Another added, ¡°Oh wow. Imtiaz/Netflix probably wanted to keep film away from too much controversy. Hence, the selective portrayal.¡±

Imtiaz Ali said while speaking to News18, "There¡¯s so much that happened in Chamkila¡¯s life that¡¯s so interesting and also contributes to the scope of the story. There¡¯s so much more that happened between them. So, I had a really tough time condensing everything and still not lose the entertaining and relevant themes. He (Amar) had another child with Gurmail after having a child with Amarjot. The circumstance of that has been explained to me by Chamkila¡¯s sister. I¡¯ve it on record and I had written a scene about it also but had to cut it down because it was somehow a bit less relevant than the ones that were already there.¡±
