New Delhi . Actor Sunny Deol has told about a dream related to his life, which he once wanted to fulfill. Sunny Deol was very fond of driving and racing and his desire was to become a professional Formula One Racing Driver. However, his dream could not progress due to the extremely protective attitude of his father Dharmendra.
Sunny Deol made this revelation in front of Amitabh Bachchan. He had reached the stage of Kaun Banega Crorepati in connection with the promotion of his film Bantwara 1947. During this time, Aamir Khan and Preity Zinta were also present with him. During the conversation, Amitabh Bachchan asked Sunny about his interest in racing and his desire to become a Formula One driver.
In response, Sunny Deol told that he was very fond of driving. He was also very enthusiastic about racing and wanted to take it to the professional level. But his father Dharmendra was very protective of his children. He did not allow sports and activities that could involve a high risk of injury or life.
Sunny told that at that time, it was not easy to get father's permission for sports or other risky activities at home. This attitude of Dharmendra was related to his concern about the safety of his children. Due to this reason, Sunny's dream of racing remained halted and he could not step into the world of professional racing.
Despite his dream of Formula One racing not being fulfilled, Sunny Deol played a long and successful innings in the world of acting. He started his film career in the year 1983 with Betaab. After this he worked in films like Arjun, Tridev, Ghayal, Damini, Border, Ziddi and Indian. His powerful voice, action style and dialogue delivery made him one of the popular stars of Hindi cinema.
The Tarikh pe Tarikh dialogue from Sunny Deol's film Damini became especially popular. This dialogue is still popular among people today and is often heard in court-related contexts. In her long career, Sunny has played action as well as serious and emotional roles.
These days Sunny Deol is in the news for his film Bantwara 1947. Artists like Preity Zinta, Karan Deol, Shabana Azmi and Ali Fazal have been seen with him in the film. The film is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and its subject is related to the background of the partition period of the country.
With the release of Bantwara 1947, Emraan Hashmi's Awarapan 2 has also reached theatres. There was a direct competition between the two films at the box office. According to initial figures, Awarapan 2 earned around Rs 22 crore on the first day, while Partition 1947's first day business was around Rs 6.84 crore.
Sunny Deol's dream of becoming a racing driver may not have been fulfilled, but he made his own identity in films. Like Dharmendra, he too entertained the audience for many decades and made a strong place in Hindi cinema through his acting and action roles. This dream of his, which he gave up due to concerns about his father's safety, today brings out a different aspect of his personality for his fans.
