PLEASE leave a family alone!!!! They are already emotionally combatting so much…. Its heartbreaking to see a paparazzi and media circus for a living legend who has contributed so massively to our cinema… this is not coverage it’s DISRESPECT.”

Earlier, Sunny Deol had lost his temper at photographers stationed outside his home, slamming them for their lack of sensitivity. With folded hands and visible frustration, he said, “Aap logon ko sharam aayni chaiyeh… Aapke ghar mein maa-baap hain, bacche hain… Sharam nahi aati (You guys should be ashamed of yourself. You guys also have parents, have kids… Still are making videos like idiots… You should be ashamed of yourself).” His outburst followed widespread misinformation circulating about his father’s health.
