Sunny Deol left India to overcome shyness and master acting

Get ready for an exciting episode of Indian Idol 15 on Sony Entertainment Television as it celebrates the legendary Sunny Deol! The star cast of the much-anticipated movie Jaat will be gracing the stage, featuring superstar Sunny Deol, alongside the talented Randeep Hooda and Vineet Kumar. In this special episode, Ragini aka ‘Idol ka Aashirvaad Face’, will captivate everyone with her soulful rendition of the iconic song 'Jab Hum Jawaan Honge'. And of course, the ever-charismatic Sunny Paji has a heartfelt response that you won’t want to miss!

Sunny Deol said, “Ragini took me back to when we shot this song. It took us quite a few days to shoot this song because the weather kept changing, and we had to stop and wait for the right conditions. But the entire film felt like a picnic, and we had a lot of fun. It was one of the closest and most enjoyable films for me. There was no tension, no overthinking — just pure fun. And the way you sang the song, I was transported back to that time! I also remembered that Sonu Nigam ji played the role of my childhood in this movie.”

Badshah then asks Sunny, "When did you realize that you wanted to do films? Was it something you always knew as a child?" Deol replies, "In my childhood, I was quite distant from all this, but as they say, it’s in the genes. There was always a part of me that wanted this. I grew up with my father, watched every film of his, and without consciously thinking about it, I ended up wanting to pursue the same path. When we were kids, we were always playing around, not focusing on studies, getting into mischief. But after school, I had to decide what I wanted to do. That’s when I decided I would become an actor. I must have been around 19 or 20 years old. I was quite shy back then, so I thought I should push myself out of my comfort zone. I went abroad and joined a theatre school where no one knew me. I started working there, and slowly, confidence started building up. That’s where my journey began. After that, I came here with a lot of hopes, worked in films like Betaab, Arjun, Dacait, and others."
