Sunny Deol: “I don’t attend all these film events”

Bollywood icon Sunny Deol has criticised the credibility of award shows in a recent interview.

“I don’t know if they are awards night or they are a collection of actors at night.”, he told Hindustan Times. “To me, it’s not an award night. If it was an award night, one would go for an award night. And how do you give awards anyway? Here [in Bollywood], I know people say I will charge this much money or I will only come if I get this thing or I won’t come or give me this special award and all. So it’s all about that. This is what we are. Let me not go on that track further.”

Deol is not keen on Bollywood events in general. “I am shy and I have been like that from childhood. I don’t attend all these film events even today. Thankfully, people have understood that I don’t have to do something which I don’t like.”, he said, sharing that he prefers to spend his time “working out, going out on a hike or driving around or listening to music.”
