So after days of speculations, it has been confirmed that the gentle giant of Bollywood (off-screen, that is), Sunny Deol, is joining politics. He has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and is going to contest for the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections from Gurdaspur. Interestingly, Sunny Deol's father, Dharmendra, had also served as an elected MP from the BJP. Meanwhile his step-mother, Hema Malini, is currently serving as a BJP MP from Mathura. BJP Names Sunny Deol as Candidate From Gurdaspur, Retains Kirron Kher in Chandigarh For Lok Sabha Elections 2019.

Sunny Deol claims that the reason for him joining the party has been PM Narendra Modi and he wants to ensure that Modi continues to be the Prime Minister of India for another five years. Whether he manages to do or not, we will only know by May 23, when the results of the elections come out.

Now, while Sunny Deol the politician is a new concept, we all are quite familiar with Sunny Deol the actor. The two-time National award winner (for Ghayal and Damini) is known for his larger-than-life screen presence and bombastic dialogues. Some of these quotes are so evergreen that people use them often for memes and jokes. Sunny Deol Birthday Special: 7 Things That First Come to Our Mind When We Think About Sunny Paaji!
