In a rare glimpse into the Deol family dynamics, veteran actor Dharmendra has shared an amusing memory from Sunny Deol's childhood. According to Dharmendra, the only time he ever slapped his son was when Sunny, as a child, had broken all the windows of the neighbor's house with a shotgun that Dharmendra had gotten him.
Sunny, who was also part of the conversation, remembered the incident vividly, saying he had "two fingers imprinted" on his face at the time. However, Dharmendra revealed his soft side, recalling that he had kept calling home to check on Sunny after going to the studio.
The Deols are known for their warmth, love, and strong family bond, and this anecdote provides a rare insight into how even the most affectionate parents have their moments of discipline. Sunny Deol, Dharmendra's elder son, continues to uphold his father's legacy of patriotic, emotionally charged cinema, with his upcoming projects like Border 2 set to release in 2026.
