If you thought being a star kid was all glamour and rubbed-off-recognition, then you’ve got it all wrong. Not only are the poor souls burdened by enormous expectations in terms of replicating their illustrious parents’ success, but they also have to face vexing issues in their growing up years. Like being bullied for being the kid of a famous parent, for instance!
In a heart-touching account that he shared with the online platform Humans of Bombay, Karan Deol bared his soul before readers, recalling how he was constantly bullied in school for being the son of the man with the ‘dhai kilo ka haath’, aka Sunny Deol.
He also recollected how his mother taught him to stand up to the bullies rather than cower in a corner. In the most heartwarming part of his anecdote, he recounted how he stepped out of his famous father’s shadow to become his own person, in his later school years.
