Sunny Deol and Srk , who had shared the screen in the 1993 psychological romantic thriller ‘Darr’, were known for their icy silence towards each other following the film. However, recent developments suggest that the tides of time have finally healed old wounds.
The reason of feud btw sunny and srk
The genesis of the feud dates back to the release of ‘Darr’, directed by Yash Chopra, which featured Juhi Chawla, Sunny Deol, and a budding Shah Rukh Khan. The film’s narrative, coupled with Shah Rukh’s portrayal of a stalker, led to a rift between the two actors. Sunny Deol, an established name in the industry at the time, expressed his displeasure over how the antagonist’s character was glorified. This discord resulted in a 16-year period during which the two actors refrained from speaking to each other.
Cut to the present day, where the atmosphere seems to have thawed considerably. Sunny Deol’s recent blockbuster, ‘Gadar 2’, a sequel to the 2001 hit ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’, garnered immense success. The film is set against the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war and sees Sunny Deol reprising his role as Tara Singh. What caught the industry’s attention, however, was the unexpected warmth exchanged between Sunny and Shah Rukh.
How sunny and srk reconciled
In an exclusive interview with Times Now, Sunny Deol revealed the heartwarming details of his rekindled friendship with Shah Rukh Khan. He disclosed that Shah Rukh had not only congratulated him on the success of ‘Gadar 2’ but also reached out to him before the film’s release to wish him well. Sunny shared, “He was so happy, and he told me ‘I’m so happy, you genuinely deserve it’ and I said thank you.” He further recounted speaking to Shah Rukh’s wife, Gauri Khan, and their son, Aryan Khan, who expressed their intention to watch the film together. The crescendo of this renewed bond was marked by Shah Rukh’s tweet, praising ‘Gadar 2’, after watching it.
Sunny Deol’s sentiments on the matter echoed his belief that time has the power to heal all wounds. He stressed that despite previous challenges, the correct method is to progress. “Regarding past difficulties – no matter what they entailed, I’d suggest that time mends all wounds, and we continue moving forward. Such is the path life ought to take,” remarked Sunny. He also revealed that he and Shah Rukh have had conversations and have even shared their thoughts on various matters.
Shah Rukh Khan appreciated Gardar 2
Shah Rukh Khan’s acknowledgment of ‘Gadar 2’ came during one of his interactive Ask SRK sessions on X (previously known as Twitter). A fan’s question about Sunny Deol’s film prompted Shah Rukh’s positive review, indicating not only his appreciation for the film’s success but also the reunion of two cinematic forces.
The tale of the feud’s origin, marked by creative differences and misunderstandings, seems to have evolved into a tale of reconciliation and mutual respect. Sunny Deol’s straightforward approach and Shah Rukh Khan’s willingness to appreciate a colleague’s work demonstrate a mature understanding that transcends past disagreements. This reunion serves as a reminder that even in the glitzy world of Bollywood, relationships can mend and evolve, given time and a willingness to move forward.
the reunion of Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan, two stalwarts of the Indian film industry, after 16 years of silence, speaks volumes about growth, maturity, and the power of time. Their renewed camaraderie, ignited by the success of ‘Gadar 2’, exemplifies that even the most steadfast feuds can find resolution when met with the passage of time and a shared understanding of life’s evolving dynamics.
