‘Shy' Sunny Deol refused to shoot a dance sequence in Shimla, makers were forced to create the set in a studio to avoid crowd: Tiku Talsania
Sunny Deol is widely known for his 'angry young man' persona with films like Damini, Gadar, and Arjun Pandit. However, according to his co-stars, the actor is an extremely shy person in reality. In a recent interview, veteran actor Tiku Talsania recalled a time when the Gadar star was too shy to shoot a dance sequence amid a crowd, forcing makers of the film to create a set within a studio for the same.
In an interview with Lallantop, Tiku said, 'He had to shoot a dance sequence at Shimla's mall road. The place was suddenly crowded with public, making the actor extremely conscious. Looking at the crowd, Sunny told the makers, 'Aaj nahi, baad mein karenge (Let's shoot it some other day)'. And then they recreated mall road somewhere in a studio. He is a very shy person you know. He doesn't like that kind of an adulation and all.'
Long time ago, on Salman Khan's Dus Ka Dum, Sunny Deol had briefly spoken about his struggles with dancing. The episode also featured Sunny's father Dharmendra when the veteran actor said, 'When it was my turn to dance in films, I used to feel nervous. When Sunny entered the film industry, I hoped he could do what I struggled with in dancing. However, even Sunny faced difficulties with dancing.'

The video featured Sunny and Karisma Kapoor dancing to the song Chhammak Chhallo, but the audio was edited to include the Tauba Tauba song. A young Sunny was seen performing dance steps similar to those in Vicky's song.
Sharing the video, the Gadar star wrote, 'When they say you can't dance, and then you find you did it before anyone else did.' The video was also shared by Karan Johar, who wrote, 'OMG! He did it first! Sunny sir (red heart emojis).'

Tammy Lynn Sytch to Sable: 5 WWE female wrestlers accused of cheating on their husbands
WWE is home to famous wrestlers, whose personalities and on-screen presence appear larger than life. But like everyone else, they too encounter real-life problems behind the curtain. A host of professional wrestlers have gained notoriety for being unfaithful to their husbands. Here's a look at five WWE female stars known for such cheating scandals: Sable was a big name during the WWE's Attitude Era. She was famously married to fellow wrestler Marc Mero from 1994 to 2004. Following her return to professional wrestling in 2003 after a brief hiatus, she began an affair with Brock Lesnar while she was still married. Due to cultural differences, her divorce from Mero was delayed, and the couple ultimately parted ways in 2004. After a scandalous relationship with Lesnar, she exchanged vows with him in 2006. The couple went on to welcome two kids together. Sunny was the first Diva WWE had in the early 1990s. She exhibited both confidence and looks. She had many admirers, one of whom was Shawn Michaels. The pair allegedly began seeing each other behind the scenes while she was in a serious relationship with wrestler Chris Candido. Candido did not believe rumours about his then-wife cheating on him at that time. It was later alleged that she may have also had links to wrestlers like Davey Boy Smith, Raven, Ahmed Johnson, and Sabu. However, Sunny eventually admitted to cheating on Candido more than once.

She was in a highly publicised relationship with Matt Hardy while they were a Team Xtreme duo. But in 2005, Lita famously had an affair with Edge (born Adam Copeland) when Matt Hardy was injured. When the news about the affair broke, Lita's relationship with Hardy ended. Over the years, Hardy and Edge developed a rivalry, with WWE highlighting their scandal. Melina, a former Divas and Women's Champion, once famously dated fellow wrestler John Morrison (AKA Johnny Nitro). While they were always seen together both in and out of the ring, it was rumoured that Melina cheated on Morrison with Batista. This caused a strain in their relationship as Morrison allegedly took a break from their relationship at the time. However, some reports claim that the alleged affair caused them to ultimately part ways. Lisa Marie Varon, famously known as Victoria, was married to Lee Varon from 1994 to 2015. Amid her growing fame, she notoriously had an affair with John Cena. The 54-year-old eventually called it quits with Lee.

From 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' to 'The Bhootnii': Sunny Singh is quietly owning Bollywood's comedy space
From the moment he appeared as the lovably confused character in 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama', Sunny Singh caught the audience's attention with his impeccable comic timing and perfect dialogue delivery. In a space often dominated by over-the-top antics, Sunny's style of comedy is refreshing, realistic, with a dash of sarcasm, and endearing innocence. Over the years, he has carved a niche for himself in Bollywood's comedy genre with films like 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety', 'Jai Mummy Di', 'Ujda Chaman', and the recent 'The Bhootnii', proving that he's not just the funny guy, but the relatable one. In 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama', Sunny played the role of Chauka, one of the three friends trying to make sense of modern-day relationships. While the film's infamous monologue by Kartik Aaryan went viral, Sunny's contribution lay in his relatable expressions and the subtle yet hilarious way he responded to his friends' chaos. His natural screen presence and effortless timing didn't go unnoticed. The film became his stepping stone, paving the way for his journey up the ladder of success. HAMID BARKZI,ROZLYN KHAN,PRATIK GANDHI & RASHIKA DUGAL AT THE RED CARPET OF 8TH TALENTRACK AWARDS Then came 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety;, the film that cemented his place in mainstream comedy. As the naive and trusting Titu, Sunny's restrained performance was the perfect foil to Kartik's high-energy Sonu. His character's simplicity and emotional vulnerability brought balance to the bromance, and his dialogues, especially 'Mujhe toh Sweety sahi lagti hai yaar', sparked countless memes and were repeated in everyday conversations. What stood out was how naturally he embodied the confused, love-struck boy, without ever going over the top. In 'Jai Mummy Di', he stepped into the role of a young man stuck between love and a hilarious family feud. While the film had a chaotic, almost sitcom-like energy, Sunny stood out with his grounded performance. He portrayed frustration and helplessness in a way that wasn't just funny but also highly believable, a boy next door who just wants peace but gets caught in a storm. Ujda Chaman was a departure from his usual comic outings. Here, Sunny played a prematurely balding man dealing with societal judgments. While still a comedy, the film leaned into satire and self-reflection. Sunny brought a layer of sensitivity and depth to his role, showing that he could do more than just punchlines, he could make you laugh and think at the same time. His recent performance in Wild Wild Punjab was another example of how he adapts his style to fit ensemble comedies. Amid the madness of the bachelor party gone rogue, Sunny's understated wit helped bring moments of calm hilarity. And in his recent film The Bhootnii, he once again reminded everyone of his strength, being funny without trying too hard. His expressions, especially in ghostly situations, were priceless. What makes Sunny Singh unique is his ability to be the heart of a comedy without demanding the spotlight! The Times of India editorial team was not involved in the creation of this content.
