Sunny Deol’s Emotional Tribute to Dharmendra Leaves Fans Concerned; Esha Deol, Bobby Deol React with Love
Bollywood actor Sunny Deol’s latest post has left fans with a mix of emotions, as he openly expressed his love and longing for his father, legendary actor Dharmendra. Known for his iconic “dhai kilo ka haath” persona, Sunny’s strong exterior often gives way to a soft-hearted, family-oriented man, especially when it comes to his father. On Instagram, Sunny shared heartfelt photos of Dharmendra, looking as charming as ever in a checkered shirt and dungarees, sporting a hat that perfectly captures his timeless style. Along with the photo, Sunny wrote, “PAPA missing u ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
The post immediately caught the attention of Sunny’s siblings, Esha Deol and Bobby Deol, who dropped heart emojis in the comments, signaling their love and support. Fans, too, were quick to respond with love and admiration, but many couldn’t hide their concern over the heartfelt message. Comments like, “HeMan of Bollywood,” and “Dharm ji, wish to see you in person,” poured in, as fans speculated about the reason behind Sunny’s post. One user commented, “EVERYTHING IS OK VEERJI ?? BABAJI TANDRUSTI DE WAHEGURU JI,” expressing hopes for Dharmendra’s well-being. Another user wondered aloud, “Miss you kiyu likha hai Sunny sir ne?” suggesting curiosity and some apprehension over whether everything was alright with the Deol family patriarch.
Sunny’s Busy Schedule Away from Family
Sunny Deol, who recently turned 67, is likely missing his father as he is away from home, busy with the shoot of his upcoming film, Jaat, in Hyderabad. Just a few days ago, the Gadar star celebrated his birthday on set, sharing his joy with close friends and industry stalwarts like Anil Sharma, Rajkumar Santoshi, and Rahul Rawail, who surprised him by visiting the film set. Sunny took to social media to thank them with a nostalgic post reflecting on the impact of his films in Indian cinema, especially in smaller towns where the single-screen theater culture remains strong.
His heartfelt post expressed gratitude towards the single-screen exhibitors who had traveled to Hyderabad to celebrate with him. Sunny shared, “Big thank you to my friends @anilsharma_dir #RajKumarSantoshi #RahulRawail @anurag_singh_films for coming down to Hyderabad and all the way to my set, truly felt special ❤️🥰. Pleasant surprise was the gesture by the single-screen exhibitors (backbone of the film industry) who came from their towns and cities and we spoke about our relationship that has lasted for so many decades between my films and single screens and the audiences.” He recalled the nostalgic tales from his career highlights, such as Ghayal, Ghatak, Border, Gadar, and Betaab, and the irreplaceable love of fans.
Family Bonds and Fans’ Support
The Deol family has always shared a tight-knit bond, evident through their social media interactions and public statements. Dharmendra, Sunny, Bobby, and Esha have, time and again, shown support for each other in both personal and professional matters. Earlier this year, the Deols were seen together promoting Gadar 2, where Dharmendra was seen getting emotional while speaking about his sons’ accomplishments. Sunny’s recent post reflects that family connection as he openly expresses his love and longing for his father despite being known for his tough-guy roles onscreen.
Fans have always admired the Deol family for staying true to their roots and maintaining a humble persona despite their star status. Dharmendra, known for his decades-long career in Bollywood, is one of the most respected figures in Indian cinema. His simple lifestyle, grounded values, and deep affection for his family have endeared him to fans for generations. The concern among fans in response to Sunny’s post shows just how deeply loved Dharmendra is by the public, who have supported him through thick and thin.
Upcoming Projects: A Look Ahead
Sunny Deol’s fans have plenty to look forward to, as he is gearing up for his next big release, Border 2, alongside Varun Dhawan. The movie promises to bring back the patriotic fervor of the original Border while introducing a new generation of actors into the storyline. With Border 2 and Jaat on the horizon, Sunny’s career shows no signs of slowing down, proving that the actor remains as relevant and beloved as ever.
As Sunny continues his work, fans are hopeful that the Deol family will soon be reunited, allowing Sunny to spend some quality time with Dharmendra. His emotional post serves as a reminder of the depth of the father-son bond they share, with fans and family members alike rooting for their happiness and well-being.
