On one hand, actor and politician Sunny Deol has brought joy to cinema lovers and owners with the mammoth success of his film Gadar 2, which scripted an unprecedented chapter in Indian movie history, emerging as one of the top 10 highest Indian grossers of all-time. On the other hand, local citizens of his constituency Gurdaspur are upset over his unavailability to tend to their issues.
Having contested for the seat during the General Elections in 2019, Sunny, who fought on a BJP ticket, beat Sunil Jakhar of Indian National Congress with a margin of 82,459 votes, has displayed inability to pay heed to the issues faced by locals in Gurdaspur.
In protest, angry citizens have plastered posters suggesting 'Sunny Deol is missing' across the town, with a reward of ₹50 K announced if anyone can get the actor to visit Gurdaspur and address the worrying concerns of its citizens.
Watch this video below where a citizen expresses the angst that echoes across Gurdaspur.
When translated from Punjabi, the locals express that in the 4+ years that Sunny has been elected as the MP of his constituency, he has never made an appearance in Gurdaspur, nor is he aware of the plight of its residents.
The actor, who is otherwise appreciated for his shy and calm demeanour, ocassionally faces the wrath of netizens on social media. Recently, a video of him laughing during the funeral of late filmmaker Raj Kumar Kohli, was completely condemned by his fans, who urged to exercise sensitivity and courtesy.
On the work front, Sunny has Lahore 1947, which will be produced by Aamir Khan Productions and will be directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi.
