Actor Sunny Deol is riding the high of his superhit movie 'Gadar 2,' which has roughly collected £51 million net in India since its release on August 11. Last week, Sunny shared the promo for his upcoming 'Aap Ki Adalat' interview. In one of the clips he posted on Instagram, the actor appears visually overwhelmed when talking about people's responses to him after his recent movie.
When asked by host Rajat Sharma why he was crying, the actor replied, "Jis tarah se ye log khush ho rahe hai... jo maine kiya hai... to yakeen nahi ho raha ki main iske layak hoon ya nahi (The way people are being happy, to what I have done in Gadar 2, I don't know if I truly deserve this)." The video showed the studio audience cheering, whistling and loudly clapping for Sunny as he entered the set.
The 65-year-old also responds to accusations against him by the people of Pakistan in one of the clips. One of them had said, "Bais saal pehle pump ukhada tha toh humare yahaan pani band ho gaya tha, ab khamba ukhada toh bijli aani band ho gay hai (22 years ago you took out the hand pump, which led to water shortage and now you have removed an electric pole causing power shortage here)." To which Sunny said, "Jab Tara Singh (his character in Gadar 2) aata hai apne pariwar ke liye toh usse koi rok nahi sakta (When Tara Singh comes for his family, no one can stop him).”
Another person from Pakistan had asked Sunny to forget about the army, he would show Sunny how strong his arms were. Sunny responded, "Main ek actor hoon, jo ek character play karta hai. Usse personal na lein toh bahut acha hai. Aur jab ye baat aa gayi hai, aur kisi ne mujhse panga lena hai, toh aa jaye (I am an actor, who plays a character. So people should not take it personally. But now that someone wishes to fight me, he can do so)."
'Gadar 2' is the sequel to the 2001 cult classic 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha.' It also features Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma in prominent roles. The movie is set in 1971 and follows Tara Singh's journey to Pakistan to rescue his son Jeete from the Pakistani army.
