Sunny Deol Slams Nepotism Debate; Says ' Weak People With Hatred Talk About Such Things' (Details Inside)

Sunny Deol is known for being quiet and not talking much to the public. While promoting his son Karan Deol's first movie, he recently said he didn't care about the current debate about nepotism. The question about nepotism seemed important because Karan's movie, ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas’, was based on a famous song from his grandfather's movie. But Sunny Deol seemed annoyed by the question and couldn't deal with it well.

Karan Deol got his start in films with Pal ‘Pal Dil Ke Paas’, which was made by his father and starred his mother. During a meeting with reporters, Sunny Deol was asked what he thought about nepotism in the Hindi Film industry. But the question made him uncomfortable, so he said, "I don't think that's the problem. There are a lot of star kids who have made it, but there are also a lot who haven't. There are a lot of people who do it and a lot of people who don't. The famous actor also talked about his own career and defended his achievements by saying, "It's not because he's someone's kid that he did it. I didn't turn out the way I did because my dad started me out. Because I have something, I became something."

Sunny Deol said something wrong when he said that his acting skills were just a part of his family's history. He then said, "I don't know why we even keep asking the same questions. First of all, what does it mean, and second, does it mean it's bad? Is it bad? I am asking you. If I'm there, my son must be there, too."

An article in the Indian Express says that when Sunny Deol tried to talk about the problem, he said that the people who were supposedly hurt by nepotism were to blame for their own situation. He said in a cruel way, “It reflects who you are. People who are weak and can’t achieve anything, out of anger and bitterness, talk about these things because they have so much hatred in their hearts that they want to direct it at something but not at their own capability.”
