Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 13 : Actor Sunny Deol believes his ability to portray strong, emotionally resonant characters, especially those in uniform, comes from a legacy inherited from his father, the legendary Dharmendra.

Speaking to ANI, the 'Border 2' actor shared, "As an actor, hum apne characters ko itni sachai ke saath kar rahe hai, ki log uss character ke saath jud jaye...jitni bhi uniforms ke roles hai, mere andar woh josh aur jazba hai. (I can only say that as an actor, we are doing our character with so much honesty that people can connect with that character. And all the roles in the uniforms, maybe I have that passion)"

Hum isse zabardasti nahi apna rahe, humare andar hai woh. Kabhi koi aisi chiz nahi kar sakte jise kisiko dukh pahuche (Like our family, the way we were brought up...we have always wanted to be a good person, to live with honesty. We are not forcing it; it is inside us. We are like that. We can never do anything that hurts someone)"
