Sunny Deol Reacts To VIRAL Airport Selfie Incident; Says, ‘I Am Not Going To Change…’

Sunny Deol On Viral Airport Incident: Actor Sunny Deol has addressed the recent airport incident that went viral on social media, where he was criticized for his seemingly abrupt behavior towards a fan. The incident took place a few weeks ago and drew massive criticism.

The actor, who has been basking in the tremendous success of Gadar 2, recently appeared on a podcast hosted by Ranveer Allahbadia where he candidly discussed the incident and provided his perspective on the matter.

The incident showed a fan trying to take a selfie with Sunny Deol at the airport. When the fan took a moment longer to capture the photo, the actor's response appeared sharp as he said, "Le na photo (Take the photo)!"

During the podcast conversation, Sunny Deol addressed the incident, shedding light on the pressures he often faces due to his busy schedule and commitments. He mentioned "Sometimes what happens is that I am constantly running around. I also got a catch in my back recently, but still, I am at it and I have to go along with it."

"So many times it has happened that I am in pain but still have to keep moving. Obviously, fans love you, and you share that with them. A lot of times, even when it (selfie) is done, they don't move away. So at that time, I am not thinking if someone is recording me, and what I'm thinking is, 'Let me carry on. Please try and understand'. There is an emotional connection with fans," he added.

Addressing the negative comments, the actor added, "Whoever wants to edit and present it like that does it, and those who are doing it are having fun, so let them have fun. I am not going to change because of that. I have not done something wrong."

Meanwhile, Gadar 2, directed by Anil Sharma, has been creating waves at the box office. The film marks a sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and reunites Sunny Deol with Ameesha Patel. The chemistry of the duo has once again struck a chord with the audience, leading to a staggering box office performance.

Within the first week of its release, Gadar 2 managed to collect an impressive Rs 284.63 crore, and its second-week earnings stood at Rs 134.47 crore. The cumulative box office collection for the movie has now reached an astonishing Rs 465.75 crore.
