Sunny Deol was born on 19 October in Punjab. His father Dharmendra and mother Prakash Kaur have provided a good upbringing to the actor. Although he belongs to a film family, he also had to face some difficulties to come on screen.

Very few people know that Sunny Deol had dyslexia in his childhood and due to this he faced a lot of difficulties in reading and writing. He himself even revealed that due to this disease he has been beaten many times.

The next interesting thing to be revealed about Sunny Deol is that his real name is Ajay Singh. After taking an acting course from the Old World Theater in Birmingham, he decided to enter films and before his debut film, he changed his name from Ajay Singh to Sunny Deol.

The actor belongs to a film background, hence it would be wrong to say that his journey was easy. In fact, the actor’s father i.e. veteran actor Dharmendra himself revealed that Sunny Deol had to be scolded a lot before working in the debut film ‘Betaab’. Dharmendra used to train his son like a school boy.

If we talk about the fifth unheard story, then it is that when Sunny Deol completed the dubbing of his first film and when his father heard this dubbing, he got very angry, after this the actor sat up all night and did the dubbing of his film again.

Dharmendra gave strict training to his son and during this time Sunny Deol’s condition became like that of a school child. The actor has revealed many times that he has seen his father in films and that is why he also wanted to enter films.

Everyone knows about Sunny Deol’s professional life but hardly anyone would know about these interesting stories of the actor. Sunny Deol has revealed many times that he has learned a lot from his father from his first film. If we look at the work front, Sunny Deol will be seen in ‘Border 2’ and ‘Lahore 1947’.
