Mumbai’s action icon Sunny Deol, fresh off the blockbuster success of ‘Border 2’, has dropped a hilarious bombshell about his filming nightmares. While fans rave about the war epic across social media and theaters, Deol confessed what truly terrifies him on set: dancing.
In a candid clip from the ‘Border 2’ shoot shared online, heavy rains forced the cast to huddle together. Director Anurag Singh probed Deol on the toughest song to film. Laughing heartily, the veteran actor admitted, ‘Every dance number was a battle. I’d psych myself out for days, skip rehearsals, even feign fever – but eventually, I’d grit my teeth and do it.’ The crew burst into laughter at his raw honesty.
Deol’s dance aversion is legendary in Bollywood. Choreographers have long shared tales of coaxing him through steps, calling it their toughest gig. He once described feeling painfully shy opposite dancing diva Sridevi in ‘Chaalbaz’. During that romantic duet, he vanished from set for two hours, only returning after intense persuasion.
Social media keeps the meme fire alive. His iconic ‘Yara O Yara’ hook step from ‘Market’ goes viral endlessly, alongside jokes about ‘Mera Dil Le Gayi O Kammo Kidhar’ looking more like a gym workout than choreography. Yet, Deol’s charm endures, proving his off-beat moves are part of his enduring appeal.
As ‘Border 2’ dominates box offices, this revelation humanizes the macho star, reminding fans that even heroes have hilarious weaknesses. Bollywood’s dance floor just got a bit more Deol-proof.
