Sunny Deol is currently enjoying the record-breaking success of his latest film, Gadar 2. The film was released on August 11 this year and shattered multiple box office records. Besides his prolific career in acting, Sunny is a member of Parliament (MP) from Punjab’s Gurdaspur.
In a recent appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, Sunny addressed his low attendance record in the Lok Sabha since 2019 and revealed whether he wanted to run for elections in 2024. “My attendance is really low and I don’t say that this is a good thing but when I came into politics, I realised it was not my world,” Sunny told senior journalist Rajat Sharma. “But I am working for my constituency and I will keep doing that. It doesn’t matter if I go to parliament or not, that doesn’t affect my work for my constituency. Also, I face problems when I go to the parliament. There is security and then there was Covid. As an actor wherever you go, people surround you. I have a list of the work I’ve done for my constituency, but I am not among those who promote their work. As for politics, yes it is a profession that I don’t fit in.”
When asked if he wanted to run for candidacy again in the 2024 elections, Sunny said, “I don’t want to fight anymore… Modi ji also knows that this boy Sunny is doing service for the country through his films, so he should continue doing that.”
Sunny Deol ventured into politics when he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on April 23, 2019. He won the Lok Sabha elections from Gurdaspur by defeating Sunil Jakhar of the Indian National Congress.
Meanwhile, his latest film Gadar 2 quickly became the second highest-grossing Hindi film of the year by crossing the Rs 500 crore mark at the domestic box office. The film achieved this milestone in only 30 days since its release.
