Gadar 2: ‘Don’t call me Paaji’, Says Sunny Deol while calling Bollywoods friendship fake

New Delhi: After a long gap of 22 years, Sunny Deol’s electrifying character Tara Singh is all set to make a comeback on the big screens in Anil Sharma’s much-awaited Gadar 2 which is geared up for its grand release tomorrow.

Prior to the release of his highly anticipated movie, the 65-year-old veteran actor opened up about his life and friendship in the Bollywood industry. In a youtube podcast with Puja Talwar, Tara Singh came down heavy on Tinseltown and said that most of the friendships in the industry are fake.

Bollywood’s fake friendships

Speaking about the fakeness of Bollywood, Sunny recalled the time when he was trying to launch his younger brothers Bobby Deol in the industry and told how no one was trying to help him with it.

He also called out his fellow people from the industry for their selfish behaviour and revealed how non of the director came forward to help him launch Bobby as no one wanted to work with him. After a long struggling phase, Bobby was finally given the movie Barsaat by director Rajkumar Santoshi in 1995.

“Everybody comes and hugs you as if they care about you so much but that’s so fake that I am like that’s enough. People are better actors in real life than they are on the screens ” He added.

Don’t call me Paaji

Showing his agitation on being called ‘Pajji ‘, the Darr actor said, “When people call me Pajji I tell them not to say it because they don’t even know the word’s meaning.”

Later, when Sunny was asked if it’s tough for star kids to establish themselves in the industry nowadays, he agreed and said, “It is indeed very tough to be an actor from the film fraternity because it’s a hatred which people have brought out over there.” He further went on to say that these days, people get hostile if someone from a film family tries to launch themselves.

By the end of the interview, Sunny responded to the fans demanding him to remake his old blockbuster movies and told that if Gadar 2 succeeds, he will be in a better position to consider recreating a number of his good old movies like Border, Arjun Pandit Damini etc.
