New Delhi: In the most recent episode, Sunny and Bobby Deol graced the Koffee with Karan couch. After hearing their father, the renowned actor Dharmendra, talk warmly about them, the actors couldn't help but weep. During the second episode of 'Koffee with Karan season 8', Dharmendra sent a pre-recorded video message for his sons Sunny and Bobby.

“Har bachcha, kaisa bhi ho, baap ke saamne bheegi billi ban jaata hai, aur baap se door hote hi sher ban jaata hai (Every child, in front of their father, learns to be meek, no matter how they are. And when they're by themselves, they turn into tigers),” Dharmendra said in the video clip.

The actor goes on to say, “Sunny ke andar ek bachcha hai jo samajhdaar hogaya hai, lekin usse aur samajhdaar hona chahiye (Sunny is a bright young man, but sometimes he ought to show more control).”

However, Bobby was surprised to hear his father refer to him as "chaalu". 

“Bobby sabka laadla tha. Hamesha chhota bachcha jo hai na, usse har koi pyaar karta hai. Par woh kehta hai ke aap Sunny ko zyada pyaar karte they aur mujhe nahi. Hala ke I love him. We all loved him the most (Bobby was the youngest and therefore the most loved. He would always complain that I loved Sunny more, even though it was untrue),” Dharmendra said. 

He continued, “Both are very emotional. Bobby kuch baatein chhupa jaata hai, Sunny ka pata chal jaata hai. Bobby thoda sa chalu hai, batata nahi. Main usse kai zyaada karta tha, kabhi sutta, kabhi (drink). I can’t tell him to not drink, because I used to do it myself, but I still say it (Bobby hides things from me, Sunny is easier to read. But Bobby doesn’t know that I was much worse when I was his age, I’d smoke, I’d drink, but he hides it from me).”

As Dharmendra expressed his pride in their achievements the actors started to break down.

“Sunny, Bobby, I’m proud of you, my sons. Aap nek bhi hain, achche bhi hain. Aur iss industry ke ups and downs bhi samajh gaye hain (You are kindhearted. You have understood the ups and downs of this industry). So, keep going. Yeh ups and downs to aate hain. Baap toh hai hi, bore kar deta hai, par yeh uska haq hai. Haq ke taur pe aap logon ke yeh keh raha hoon, all the best (There are ups and downs in life. As your father, I know you grow tired of me lecturing you, but that's my job).”

Meanwhile, Bobby and Sunny have seen a rise in their work. Bobby has received praise from critics for his performances in 'Ashram', 'Class of 83', and 'Love Hostel', while Sunny's 'Gadar 2' was one of the year's biggest hits.
