Flop actress and model Mandira Bedi may have had her 5-minutes of fame as a cricket anchor on 'Extraa Innings' , or by appearing in bold attires on Maxim , seems to have irked the Sikh community .

According to sources , Mandira sported the tattoo "Ek Omkar" (God is one) in Gurmukhi , on her bare back , while ramp walking , last Tuesday . For those who do not know "Ek Omkar" are the first words of the holy Sikh scripture - Guru Granth Sahib.

Anti-Mandira protests were held in Ludhiana and other cities of Punjab .

Akali Dal (youth) workers protested in Ludhiana and burnt an effigy of Mandira on Wednesday , while in holy city of Amritsar, Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) - the mini-parliament of Sikh religion - expressed its displeasure over Mandira using the Sikh religious symbol on her body for fashion modelling.

Incidently Mandira is also a Sikh and she had generated controversy three years ago after she gave Sikh names to her two pet dogs , saying they were her family members.
