Sunny Deol opens up about dyslexia, shares concern over being misunderstood as a 'duffer'

Actor Sunny Deol revealed that he is dyslexic in a recent conversation and explained how he rehearses his Hindi dialogues multiple times before filming due to this condition.
Sharing that he is dyslexic, Sunny shed light on the challenges he faced in his academic journey. He said, ‘Earlier, we didn’t know what it was, and people would think..ki yeh duffer aadmi hai.’
Sunny shared that he navigates his dyslexia by receiving his dialogues in Hindi, meticulously reading them multiple times to internalise and deliver them in front of the camera.
In the interview, Sunny Deol also discussed his acting approach and distanced himself from the trend of extensive character research favoured by some actors.

He deemed such research as unnecessary and cited yesteryear actors, including his father, who worked continuously without extensive preparation.
Sunny said that except for biographical roles, he prefers interpreting characters uniquely, without meticulous research.
Earlier, in an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, Sunny had shared how he would also often get ‘slapped’ for not scoring well in studies, but no one knew what dyslexia event meant back then.

He said, ‘I was dyslexic as a child. Back then, we didn’t even know what that meant! Thappad padte the, duffer hai, padhai nahi aati (I would get slapped, called duffer for not being able to study). Even now when it comes to reading, sometimes the words seem all jumbled up. Often people say to use a teleprompter (at public gathering) but I refuse! I am like, ‘You tell me what to say, I will try to say it.’’
