Chandigarh: Dismissing the possibility of any threat to Sunil Jakhar from the BJP candidate in the fray in Gurdaspur, Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Friday said Sunny Deol was just a ‘filmy fauji’ with no ground support in the constituency. Talking to mediapersons after accompanying Jakhar for filing his nomination papers as the Congress candidate from Gurdaspur, Captain Amarinder quipped, in response to a question, “He (Sunny Deol) is a filmy fauji, while I am a real fauji.” We will defeat him, he is no threat to Sunil or the Congress, he declared. Describing Sunny Deol as an ageing actor whose acting career was over, Captain Amarinder said “he (Sunny) will come and go.”
Sunny might have played 23 Punjab’s Brigadier Kuldip Singh Chandpuri in Border but that does not make him a real fauji, said the chief minister. When a journalist pointed out that Sunny Deol’s latest movie ‘Blank’ was set for release, Captain Amarinder further retorted: “He will draw a blank (in the elections).”
