Surprising educational background of Punjabi celebrities

They make you dance to their tunes, they leave you awestruck with their amazing acting, they tickle your funny bone with their on-point comic timing, artists in the Punjabi industry are capable of doing more than what meets the eyes. Another thing that hardly meets the eyes is the strong educational background of the Punjabi celebrities. As surprising as it may sound, but Punjabi entertainment world has got some really highly qualified artists who did put their degree on the side to pursue their passion. Read on to know the educational background of some famous Punjabi celebrities.
2/6

Guru Randhawa

We all know that Guru Randhawa is a multi-talented star. Not only can he just sing, but can pen lyrics and compose amazing music. Another feather in Guru’s hat is the degree that reads Masters in Business Administration. The singer-writer-composer went to the Indian Institute of Planning and Management, New Delhi for his masters. No wonder how well he knows how to manage his singing business.
3/6

Amrit Maan

Amrit Maan who has only been seen doing negative characters on the big screen will soon change his image with the release of ‘Aate Di Chidi’. Perhaps change is the only thing constant in his life, or why someone with a degree of M.Tech in software engineering would end up being in front of the camera. Amrit got his degree from Swami Vivekanand Institute of Engineering & Technology, Mohali.
4/6

Sharry Mann

Another engineer who realized that engineering was never his thing is Sharry Mann. Holding a graduate degree in civil engineering, Mann is our next pick. The singer-actor not only did get the degree but also worked as a civil engineer. He was always motivated by his friends to be a professional singer, but he didn’t take them seriously until he realized he really has the potential.
5/6

Ammy Virk

Setting an example for the youth with his style, the turbanator look and work, Ammy Virk didn’t initially plan to enter the Punjabi industry. He aspired to be a doctor and did M.Sc in biotechnology. He went to the renowned Punjabi University, Patiala. But perhaps, as they say, that you reach where you are destined to; here, we have an aspiring doctor actually slaying his fans with his adorable smile.
6/6

Amrinder Gill

Did you know that before making his way into the Punjabi industry, Amrinder Gill worked as a bank manager! Shocked? Well, this is just the beginning, as you might also not know that the phenomenal Punjabi singer and actor also did M.Sc in Agriculture from the Khalsa College, Amritsar. But we are glad that he followed his heart and came into the industry, or else how would have the fans got the taste of movies like ‘Love Punjab’, ‘Angrej’, ‘Lahoriye’ and many more.
