Actor Sunny Deol has shared his thoughts on patriotism and expressed confidence in the younger generation. Speaking at the “Border 2” teaser launch event, the ‘Jaat’ actor praised Gen Z, highlighting their potential to uphold the nation’s legacy and protect the country just as previous generations have done.
When asked about the personal meaning of patriotism, Sunny shared his heartfelt perspective, emphasizing the role of Gen Z in carrying forward the legacy of protecting and honoring the nation. He stated, “The country is our mother, and today's youth also considers it their mother.
And they will protect it, just like their fathers, great grandfathers did. I think even today's youth will do the same. We call it Gen Z, whatever you call it, but it is still a child.” During his address to the audience, Sunny Deol became emotional and shed tears while delivering one of his iconic dialogues from the film.
As he spoke the powerful line, “Awaaz kahan tak jaani chahiye? Lahore tak,” his eyes welled up, reflecting his deep emotions. This event also marked Sunny’s first professional appearance following the passing of his father, the legendary actor Dharmendra.
