Abhishek Bachchan recently reminisced about a childhood memory involving Sunny Deol, highlighting a simple yet profound moment that captured the essence of stardom. Growing up as neighbors in Mumbai’s Juhu area, Abhishek admired Sunny not through typical fanfare but by witnessing him ride his horse along the beach every morning before school. The quiet confidence and natural presence Sunny exuded during these rides left a lasting impression on young Abhishek and his friends, embodying heroism without any theatrics.

Abhishek also praised Sunny Deol’s debut film Betaab, calling it unforgettable and noting Sunny’s effortless charm and strong screen presence that set a high standard for heroism in Bollywood. While Sunny Deol’s legacy includes major hits like Gadar and upcoming projects, for Abhishek, the most enduring image remains that of Sunny quietly becoming a hero each morning on horseback, symbolizing the magic of stardom in its purest form.
