What Did Sunny Deol Reveal About Dharmendra and Manoj Kumar’s Friendship..

Mumbai : Bollywood actor Sunny Deol recently opened up about a lesser-known but touching chapter from the golden era of Hindi cinema the friendship between his father Dharmendra and legendary actor Manoj Kumar. While speaking at a public event, Sunny shared how their bond was built on struggles, simplicity, and trust, even at a time when money was scarce.

He recalled a moment when both Dharmendra and Manoj Kumar were still struggling to find their footing in the industry.

“There was a time when they didn’t even have money in their pockets,” Sunny said, adding,
“Despite that, they supported each other in every way. That’s what true friendship means.”

According to Sunny, their friendship was forged not in fame, but in shared struggles, auditions, and sleepless nights. They often met after their respective rejections and failures, yet never let each other’s morale drop.

“Back then, my father would share even a cup of tea with Manoj uncle, and they’d dream big together. Today’s generation may not understand what it means to fight side by side when there’s nothing in your wallet,” Sunny added with emotion.

The actor also touched upon how the bond continued even after they both found success. Unlike many friendships in the film industry that fade with time or competition, Dharmendra and Manoj Kumar’s relationship remained strong, filled with mutual respect and admiration.

This story comes as a reminder of the authentic camaraderie that existed in the old film industry — something many say is rare today. Sunny’s heartfelt storytelling struck a chord with fans, who praised him on social media for keeping alive the legacy and values of that era.

Fans flooded platforms like Twitter and Instagram, sharing clips and quotes from the event, calling it “a tribute to timeless friendship.”
