Sunny Deol has come out in support of Salman Khan after the latter recently shared his disappointment over the lack of support from industry peers during the promotions of his upcoming film Sikandar. Deol referred to Khan as “the most supportive actor in Bollywood”.
While speaking to Bollywood Bubble, he was asked if Bollywood lacks unity to which he responded “I think, and at the end of the day, we are all human beings, right? Har aadmi ka apna-apna dhang hota hai, kaise nahi hai aur har aadmi chahta hai ki uske baare mein koi accha bole ya cheezein chalein (Every person has their own way of doing things, isn’t it? And everyone wants others to speak good about them or see things go well for them). And there’s no harm in saying so, right? But humare yahan kitni baar hum log kitni cheezein, anyway, wahan kahaan jaana (But here, many times, we…let’s not get into that).”
He further clarified that there’s no negativity among actors in the industry just different personalities and occasional misunderstandings “But I think everybody is fond of one another, aur kabhi-kabhi ho jaata hai, kahin kisse ho jaate hain, jahan ek doosre se thodi si ho jaaye (And sometimes it happens that certain things occur between people, creating a slight distance). But I’m sure no one holds negativity towards anyone” Deol explained.

Deol further emphasized Khan’s supportive nature and added “And Salman has been a guy who’s always been supportive to everybody, and I’m sure all the actors who know him, all the colleagues – I think they are all very supportive of him. And that’s the way life is; it’s give and take. It can’t be one-sided.”
Khan had previously expressed disappointment about colleagues not promoting his films despite his support for their projects. He said, “Unko aise lagta hoga ki zarurat nahi padhti mujhe, but sabko zarurat padhti hai. (They might feel I don’t need it, but everyone needs support). Like Mohanlal’s film, which was released today, I hope it is going well. My film is being released in two days. I think Jaat is coming, I guess. It’s coming one week later. And the way Sunny is going, I think he is going to hit the ball out of the park. I have heard Mohanlal speak about it.”
While Sikandar continues a strong run at the box office with ₹107.1 crore, Jaat is also expected to mark a major success for Sunny, likely becoming his second-biggest opening ever.
