Sunny Deol struck an emotional chord as he made a rare and deeply moving public appearance at the teaser launch of his upcoming war drama Border 2. Held in Mumbai on Vijay Diwas, the event became more than just a film promotion when Sunny visibly fought back tears, reminding many of the strong family legacy and emotional weight he carries.
What happened at the Border 2 teaser launch?
The grand event saw the presence of the film’s lead cast, including Varun Dhawan and Ahan Shetty. As Sunny took the stage, he delivered one of the film’s most impactful dialogues, “Awaaz kahan tak jaani chahiye?”
When the crowd roared back, “Lahore tak,” Sunny repeated the line with the same intensity seen in the teaser. But this time, emotion overtook him. His voice cracked, his eyes welled up, and the hall fell silent, turning the moment into one of the most powerful highlights of the evening.
Why did Sunny Deol get emotional?
The appearance came shortly after a period of concern surrounding veteran actor Dharmendra’s health. Earlier in November, Dharmendra had been hospitalised briefly, leading to unverified rumours that were later dismissed by family members, including Esha Deol and Hema Malini.
Sunny’s visible emotion was widely seen as a reflection of a son standing tall while carrying personal worries, professional responsibility, and a cinematic legacy that spans generations.
Sunny’s heartfelt tribute to his father
Recently, Sunny shared a touching video of Dharmendra enjoying a serene mountain view on his birthday. Accompanying the clip, Sunny wrote,
“Papa is always with me, inside me. Love you, Papa.” The post resonated deeply with fans, reinforcing the bond between the father-son duo that Bollywood has admired for decades.
