Bollywood actor Ajay Singh Deol, better known as Sunny Deol, is celebrating his 63rd birthday on October 19. He is the eldest son of legendary Indian actor Dharmendra. Sunny made his film debut in 1983 with another debutant Amrita Singh in Betaab and the film was a hit.
After his success in Bollywood, Sunny chose to stay away from films for a long time. He made a comeback, but unlike others, it was a political comeback. He joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) party on April 23, 2019. He won the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections from Gurdaspur constituency against his rival Sunil Jakhar of Indian national Congress with a margin of 82,459 votes.
Alongside joining politics, Sunny even launched his son this year with Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, which was directed by him. In his vast and diverse career, Sunny has given some major hits as an actor. Let's take a look at them.
