Sunny Deol On Bank Publishing Auction Notice On His Bungalow: ‘Why Should It Be Made Into Some Kind Of A Talk Anyway?'

In a recent interview, Sunny Deol opened up about the bank notice and said what hurt him was that they printed the notice in the newspaper.

New Delhi: Sunny Deol is the talk of the town nowadays as his film Gadar 2 is breaking record after record at the box office. Apart from this the actor was also in the news recently after Bank of Baroda published a notice on the e-auction of Sunny’s bungalow in Mumbai’s Juhu for failing to pay back a loan of about Rs 56 crore. Later, the bank advertised in the newspapers that it was withdrawing the decision for 'technical reasons.’ In a recent interview, Sunny opened up about the issue and said he was “hurt.” 

In a conversation with Zoom, when asked about how he felt when the notice was published, he replied, “I don’t react to things because I know what I have, what I have to do, what the problem was and I sorted it out. But what hurts is that they printed the notice in the newspaper. I said, ‘What are they getting out of it? That’s my issue and what is wrong with it.’ A human being does business, goes into losses, and then when the losses cannot be taken care of, you have your property which you give away and you complete your losses off. It’s a normal format of life and it’s my and my dad’s hard-earned money. “So why should it be made into some kind of a talk anyway? But somehow people like enjoying it… I have seen this so many times that I tell myself, ‘Carry on.’ It doesn’t bother me, because I know what I am, I know what it is. But you are hurting my fans who say, ‘Why are they doing this?’ but I tell them, ‘Don’t worry, sab bhadiya hain,'”   

Bank of Baroda had advertised the auctioning of Sunny Deol's villa as he owed the bank about Rs 55.99 crore plus interest and cost from December 26, 2022, onwards less recovery up to date. The auction notice was withdrawn a day later, ‘citing technical reasons.’ 

According to IANS, the bank also said following the advertisement, the BJP MP-cum-actor had approached it for settling the dues and hence the sale notice was withdrawn as per normal industry practice. 

The bank in its first advertisement had said the borrowers/guarantors can redeem the securities by paying the outstanding dues/costs/charges and expenses at any time before the sale is conducted.
