Today is the birthday of Bollywood’s action hero, Sunny Deol. Born on October 19, 1957, the actor turns 68 years old this year. And we celebrate his special day by revisiting his remarkable journey from a debutant to one of Hindi cinema’s most loved stars.
Born to legendary actor Dharmendra, Sunny Deol made his debut in 1983 with Betaab, which skyrocketed his career, becoming a commercial blockbuster and the 2nd-highest-grossing film of that year, carving his niche in Bollywood.
In the late 80s and 90s, Sunny won hearts with his on-screen presence and became the ultimate action hero through power-packed scenes in films like Ghayal, Ghatal, Damini, and Border. His intense actions and aggressive expressions relate to viewers, making him a favorite of many. And his iconic dialogue ‘Dhai Kilo Ka Haath’ from the film Damini is still remembered.
Besides that, Sunny showcased his versatility in the 2001 film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, which broke records and remains one of the most-watched films. After a long break from cinema, Sunny made his comeback in 2023, giving a blockbuster hit with Gadar 2 and proving that his charm can never fade away.
Some of Sunny’s best films include Arjun, Jeet, Chup, Vishwatma, Ziddi, Tridev, Darr, Indian, Ghayal Once Again, Yamla Pagla Deewana, Narasimha, and others.
He is a perfect combination of a soft-hearted man with an “Angry Young Man” temperament. In real life, he is calm, humble, and is known for his strong family values. On the work front, the actor will next appear in Border 2, Apne 2, and others.
A very happy birthday, Sunny Paaji!
