Dharmendra has been openly celebrating the achievements of his son, Sunny Deol, in the wake of ‘Gadar 2's’ massive success. Whether through online posts or at celebratory gatherings, the veteran actor has been effusive in his praise for the love and recognition his son has received. Sunny, who has been busy promoting ‘Gadar 2’ during this triumphant period, is on the verge of surpassing Shah Rukh Khan's ‘Pathaan’ at the box office to become the highest-grossing film.
However, amid the whirlwind of promotions and fan excitement surrounding ‘Gadar 2’, Sunny Deol has taken a break to seek medical treatment for his father, Dharmendra. This surprising decision has led the father-son duo to the United States, as reported by an entertainment news outlet. Sunny Deol chose to temporarily step away from his ‘Gadar 2’ promotional commitments to be with his 87-year-old father, who has been experiencing health issues. Their stay in the US is anticipated to last around 20 days, with the possibility of an extension depending on the treatment's duration. Importantly, sources emphasize that there is no cause for alarm regarding Dharmendra's health.
Dharmendra, attending the ‘Gadar 2’ success celebration, made a notable appearance in a vibrant blue t-shirt. He captivated the crowd by blowing a flying kiss toward the media. Throughout this time, he has expressed his joy regarding the movie's success and expressed heartfelt gratitude to fans nationwide for their immense love and support for the film and Sunny Deol.
In an interview with Times Now, Dharmendra shed light on his and Sunny's non-promotional approach toward their films. Their intention is to let their work and films directly connect with the audience, even though Sunny has delivered two of the biggest blockbusters. Dharmendra explained their perspective, stating, "But my family has never been given our due."
