The National Sikh Campaign hosted a landmark event at NBA Headquarters in New York City—an evening dedicated to celebrating Sikh resilience, identity, and the power of storytelling.
The event marked the official launch of Title Fight: Between Two Worlds, a groundbreaking new documentary now streaming on Amazon Prime. The film tells the powerful story of Arjan Bhullar—Olympian, UFC world champion, and proud Sikh—as he navigates the dual pressures of elite combat sports and cultural expectations as a son of immigrants. It is a universal story of perseverance, rooted deeply in the Sikh experience.
Beyond a celebration of athletic achievement, the documentary uplifts Sikh identity, explores the meaning of representation, and honors the strength found in our traditions and values.
The film also features appearances by global figures such as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Daniel Cormier, UFC Hall of Famer and former two-division champion and Russell Peters, internationally renowned comedian.
Organized by NSC co-founder Gurwin Singh Ahuja, the evening featured a panel of trailblazing Sikh leaders like Harjit Singh Sajjan, former Canadian Minister of National Defence, who spoke about his personal friendship with Arjan and how his journey has inspired Canadians from all backgrounds. He also reflected on the weight and honor of serving as a Sikh on the world stage.
Arjan Bhullar, shared how he built not only his body, but his mindset, discipline, and spirit to become a world champion—grounded in his Sikh faith and family values.
Surinder Jindal, the Sikh woman who made her directorial debut with Title Fight, shared how she crafted the film to elevate the Sikh and Punjabi communities through intentional storytelling and powerful imagery.
Curran Bhatia, a four-time Emmy nominee at HBO Sports and acclaimed sports commentator, served as a panelist, offering insight into the broader impact of Sikh representation in sports and media.
