Sunny Deol on why smoking and drinking never became habits: ‘The age was such…’

Sunny Deol, the acclaimed actor known for his role in Batwara 1947, recently spoke about his refusal to smoke or drink despite the prevalence of these habits among his peers. In an interview with podcaster Shubhankar Mishra, Deol revealed that he had indeed tried both smoking and drinking during his younger years while studying abroad.

However, he found the experience to be quite unpleasant, noting the bitter taste and the immediate onset of a headache the following day. This led him to conclude that he had no desire to continue these vices. Deol also emphasized that he never felt any pressure from his friends to take up smoking or drinking. He firmly stated, "I want to be what I want to be, and still they should accept me." This quote underscores his self-assured stance against succumbing to peer pressure.
