It has been a great year for Sunny Deol. The actor marked a return to the silver screen with Gadar 2, which turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Similarly, Sunny’s father Dharmendra and brother Bobby Deol made a mark with their roles in films Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Animal, respectively. In a recent conversation, Sunny revealed that he is dyslexic and which is why he gets his dialogue in Hindi and reads the many times before delivering them in front of the camera.
In a recent conversation with Bombay Times, Sunny Deol opened up about his approach to acting, dismissing the trend of extensive research that some actors indulge in before portraying a character. Drawing inspiration from yesteryear actors, including his father, who did back-to-back films without extensive preparation, Sunny labeled such research as “gibberish.” He emphasised that, except for biographical characters, he prefers interpreting roles in his unique way without meticulous research.
The actor went on to reveal that he doesn’t have dialogues of his films as he is dyslexic. He shared that he can’t read and write properly. He also shed light on the challenges he faced in his academic journey. He said, “Earlier, we didn’t know what it was, and people would think..ki yeh duffer aadmi hai.” Sunny shared that he navigates his dyslexia by receiving his dialogues in Hindi, meticulously reading them multiple times to internalise and deliver them in the front of the camera.
Earlier, in an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, Sunny had shared how he would also often get “slapped” for not scoring well in studies, but no one really knew what dyslexia event meant back then.
He said, “I was dyslexic as a child. Back then, we didn’t even know what that meant! Thappad padte the, duffer hai, padhai nahi aati (I would get slapped, called duffer for not being able to study). Even now when it comes to reading, sometimes the words seem all jumbled up. Often people say to use a teleprompter (at public gathering) but I refuse! I am like, ‘You tell me what to say, I will try to say it.’”
