Bollywood superstar Dharmendra is Sunny Deol's father. Sunny's brother Bobby and cousin Abhay Deol, are also well-known actors. Rajveer, Sunny's younger son, has now entered the film industry, continuing the family tradition, with the recently released movie Dono. Sunny commented on the discussion surrounding the term nepotism when promoting his son's movie.Sunny, who was last seen in Gadar 2, admitted that he had a hard time understanding what "nepotism" meant for a long time. Once he realised what that meant, the actor pondered: If a father doesn't provide for his child's comfort, then who will?
He said in an interview, “People keep talking about nepotism and I used to think what is this even? Phir main baad mein sochne lag gaya, ki baap apne bache ke liye nahi karta, to kiske liye karta hai? Ye baat mujhe samajh mein nahi aati, chaahe jo bhi field mein ho.
The actor continued to explain his ideas by stating,“Be it acting or any field, every father thinks about how to make his child’s life comfortable.”
Together with producer-director Sooraj Barjatya, whose son Avnish made his directorial debut with the movie, Sunny was promoting Dono. The Gadar actor believes that individuals who aren't succeeding in their goals are the most concerned about nepotism.
“This word (Nepotism) is mostly used by those – who are not at fault also- but are frustrated about not finding success in anything. So, they use this word to vent their frustration, jab ke iss shabd ka koi matlab nahi hai.”
The actor said by using his own family and father Dharmendra as an example, “My father made his own identity. Whatever I am today and whatever Bobby and Abhay are, it’s because of our own identity. Of course, now I do know what it means to be a father and how my father felt. What are a father’s fears and pains but his (Rajveer) journey is his own.” More on: Sunny Deol
