Actor Sunny Deol shared an update on his father Dharmendra’s health during the trailer launch of his upcoming film Jaat in Delhi today. He also opened up about Dharmendra’s close bond with late actor Manoj Kumar.
The 89-year-old actor was spotted with a bandage on his eye, two days before Manoj Kumar’s funeral. When a journalist asked Sunny about his health, he shared, “Papa ekdum theek hain, cataract ka operation tha chotta tha, aisa kuch nahi. (Dad is absolutely fine. He had a cataract operation, nothing serious).”
Sunny Deol also spoke about Dharmendra’s close bond with Manoj Kumar. He said, “Manoj ji came with our dad only. They both were together in the industry. He had always been a father figure for us, and I have always seen him with my father during childhood. My dad had a great connection with him. I would just say that the films that he did were on India, bahut pyaari thi. Usi se deshbhakti ka silsila shuru hua tha.”

In fact, Sunny recalled an anecdote that Dharmendra shared with him before leaving for Delhi. “Before coming here, dad was telling me that when he was with Manoj ji in the early days, obviously they were struggling, jeb mein paise nahi hote the (he didn’t have any money). Manoj ji used to have money sometimes and whenever he went to buy clothes, he used to tell my dad, ‘Aa lele Dharam, tu vi lele do kameezaan.’ So, such a beautiful bond they had from that time onwards. And, I think that time was great, vo zamaana vaapis nahi aasakta,” he said.
Sunny Deol’s Jaat will hit theatres on April 10. The movie also stars Randeep Hooda and Vineet Kumar Singh in pivotal roles.
