Today, on the occasion of his birthday, let’s look at some interesting facts and stories related to his life…

Dharmendra sent him to England

In his teenage years, Sunny also wanted to become an actor like his father, so Dharmendra sent him to England to study filmmaking. Sunny returned to India after studying acting from the Old World Theater in Birmingham. Here Dharmendra launched him in 1983 with the film Betaab, directed by Rahul Rawail.

Sunny’s acting in the film was highly appreciated. He was also nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Award for this film.

Got engaged at the age of 14

Sunny got engaged to Pooja at the age of 14. When Pooja’s father came to know that Sunny was working in films, he felt that Sunny would leave his daughter Pooja. He also kept pressurizing Dharmendra to marry Sunny with Pooja.

Dharmendra kept telling them to wait till the release of the film Betaab, after that he would get them married, but Pooja’s father did not agree to this.

After this Dharmendra had to accept his words. However, Dharmendra believed that this marriage should take place in a secret manner as it would have a negative impact on Sunny’s career. On the insistence of Pooja’s father and Dharmendra’s advice, Sunny-Pooja’s secret marriage took place in England.

After the release of the film Betaab, both of them got married again in the presence of close friends and family. After marrying Pooja, Sunny became the father of two sons, Karan and Rajbir.

Name was associated with Amrita Singh and Dimple
When Amrita met Sunny on the sets of Betaab, Sunny did not tell her that he was married. While working together, their closeness increased. After some time, when the news of Sunny’s marriage was published in the newspapers, he still called it a mere rumour.

As soon as Sunny’s mother Prakash Kaur came to know that he was dating Amrita, she objected. Later, when it was confirmed that Sunny was really married, Amrita was devastated, but she wanted to maintain her relationship with Sunny. Amrita agreed, but her mother Rukhsana was strongly against it. Ultimately, Amrita and Sunny separated for the sake of the family.

Apart from Amrita, Sunny’s name was also linked with Dimple Kapadia. Sunny and Dimple worked together in the film Manzil Manzil, released in 1984.

During this time there were rumors that both were dating each other. However, both of them never gave any statement in this regard. In 1985, both of them also worked together in the film Arjun. Apart from this, he was also seen in films like Narasimha, Aag Ka Gola and Gunah.

Sunny had told, in the real climax of the film, Sakina (Ameesha Patel) dies due to a bullet. We felt that if Sakina dies, the story will turn tragic and may get a negative response from the audience.
