Gadar 2 Actor Sunny Deol Comes Clear On Nepotism: ‘Am An Actor Because Of My Father Dharmendra’

New Delhi: Sunny Deol, whose son Karan got married recently and whose Gadar 2 is releasing soon, minced no words while talking about the nepotism debate. The actor stressed that his father Dharmendra played a role in facilitating his career. However, he stressed that nepotism wasn’t the driving factor and dismissed it as a narrative propagated by frustrated individuals.

In an interview with Aaj Tak, the host asked Sunny, “If Dharam ji was not an actor, where would you be today?” Sunny said, “I don’t know, wherever my father would be working, maybe I too would be working there.”

The actor agreed that he was an actor because of Dharmendra, and said that since his father is such a huge star, he got the platform and opportunity of becoming an actor. He said, “One has to understand that in a family, the child follows and imitates what his father does. The hate and nepotism is being spread by those people who are frustrated. What’s wrong if a father wants to do something for his son or daughter? If not his family, then who is the father working for?”

Sunny added, “The success eventually will depend on the individual person. My father could not get into me to make me an actor. I cannot get into my sons to make them an actor… Papa is such a big icon and I made my identity and I am here. I am not like my dad, but we are very similar. Of course there were difficulties, but I never thought of them as difficulties.”

Sunny Deol has two sons, Karan, who made his Bollywood debut with Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas in 2019, and Rajveer,  who is making his Bollywood debut with the film Dono.
