The actor lashed out at photographers stationed outside his Mumbai home after veteran star Dharmendra’s hospital discharge, calling their behaviour “shameless” during a family crisis.
Bollywood actor Sunny Deol is known for his fiery on-screen rage — but this time, it wasn’t a movie scene. On Thursday morning, the Gadar 2 star lost his temper at paparazzi who had crowded outside his Mumbai residence amid his father Dharmendra’s ongoing health crisis. In a video that quickly went viral, Sunny was seen stepping out, visibly furious, and scolding the media for invading his family’s privacy during an emotional time.
Sunny Deol’s Outburst: “Aap Logon Ko Sharam Aani Chahiye!”
The incident unfolded outside Sunny’s Juhu home, where photographers have been stationed since Dharmendra’s discharge from Breach Candy Hospital on Wednesday. In viral clips shared across social media, Sunny can be seen walking out, hands folded in frustration, before delivering a sharp rebuke to the paparazzi.
“Aap logon ko sharam aani chahiye… Aapke ghar mein maa-baap hain, bacche hain… Ch******n ki tarah video liye ja rahe ho… Sharam nahi aati?” Sunny was heard shouting, his voice echoing with anger and disappointment.
The moment quickly drew mixed reactions online — while some supported Sunny’s plea for privacy, others debated whether the actor’s language was justified.
The Paparazzi Drama Outside the Deol Residence
Since Dharmendra’s hospitalization last week, the Deol household has become the focus of intense media attention. Cameras followed every car entering or exiting the premises, capturing not only Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, but also Esha Deol and other family members who came to visit.
Even after Dharmendra’s discharge, the frenzy didn’t stop. Paparazzi continued filming outside the residence, capturing visitors and even delivery agents bringing food into the home — a move that clearly crossed the line for Sunny.
As one insider from the Deol household reportedly told a portal, “The family understands public curiosity, but there’s a difference between covering a story and invading someone’s privacy. Sunny sir was extremely disturbed seeing cameras everywhere, especially when his father just returned home to recover.”
Dharmendra’s Health Update: Recovering at Home
Just a day before the heated moment, Sunny Deol’s team issued an official statement confirming that the 88-year-old veteran actor had been discharged and was continuing his recovery at home.
“Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time,” read the note.
Sunny’s team also thanked fans for their love and concern, adding, “We appreciate everyone’s prayers and good wishes for his continued recovery, good health, and long life. Please respect him because he loves you.”
The actor’s calm yet heartfelt appeal on Wednesday stands in stark contrast to Thursday’s heated exchange — showing just how relentless the paparazzi presence had become.
Dharmendra’s Health Rumours Sparked Unnecessary Panic
Earlier this week, rumours began circulating online claiming that the veteran actor had passed away in the hospital. The false reports caused widespread panic among fans, forcing the Deol family to come forward and clarify the truth.
Dharmendra’s wife Hema Malini, along with daughters Esha and Ahana Deol, took to social media to reassure fans that the legendary actor was alive and responding well to treatment.
“Papa is doing fine. Please don’t spread false news. We are grateful for everyone’s prayers and love,” Esha wrote in an Instagram Story earlier this week.
Industry Reactions: Bollywood Stands With Sunny
Following the viral video, several industry insiders have reportedly expressed empathy for Sunny Deol. A producer who has worked with the actor told Ulta Palta Khabar, “Sunny isn’t someone who loses control easily. But the media has been camped outside for days. It’s a sensitive family matter — any son would react the same way.”
Meanwhile, fans on X (formerly Twitter) shared mixed reactions. One user wrote, “He’s right. There’s a line the media shouldn’t cross, especially when someone’s parents are unwell.” Another user added, “Sunny Deol’s anger is iconic, on and off screen. But maybe he could’ve said it calmly.”
It’s safe to say that Sunny’s explosion has reignited the ongoing debate around paparazzi culture and celebrity privacy in India.
The Deol Legacy: A Family of Icons Under Pressure
The Deols — from Dharmendra, one of Bollywood’s original action stars, to Sunny and Bobby Deol — have long been admired as one of India’s most respected film families. Over the past few years, they’ve enjoyed renewed success: Sunny with his blockbuster Gadar 2, and Bobby with Animal and Aashram.
But with fame also comes relentless scrutiny. Every move the Deol family makes — whether professional or personal — finds its way to trending lists within hours. This week’s events highlight just how overwhelming that spotlight can become when private matters turn public.
Why Sunny’s Reaction Struck a Chord
Sunny Deol’s public outburst isn’t just another celebrity meltdown; it reflects a bigger conversation about boundaries between stars and the press. With social media making every moment viral, the line between public and private has blurred.
Even though paparazzi culture thrives on celebrity sightings, Sunny’s emotional response reminds fans that at the end of the day, actors are humans too — with families, emotions, and limits.
As one entertainment journalist noted, “There’s a difference between covering a story and sensationalizing grief. This incident should make us all rethink how we treat celebrity privacy, especially during times of illness or family distress.”
The Road Ahead
As of now, Dharmendra is resting at home, surrounded by his family, and continuing his treatment under medical supervision. Sunny, on his part, is expected to resume his professional commitments soon but has reportedly asked for privacy till his father fully recovers.
Fans continue to flood social media with heartfelt messages for the Sholay star’s recovery — and many hope that this incident will push for a more respectful media approach toward celebrity families in crisis.
