Sunny is credible, dependable person; will surely win from Gurdaspur: Anupam Kher

Veteran actor Anupam Kher Thursday described his co-star Sunny Deol, who has been fielded by the BJP from the Gurdaspur seat in the Lok Sabha polls, as a credible and a dependable person.

Deol, 62, is pitted against sitting Congress MP and party candidate Sunil Jakhar, AAP's nominee Peter Masih and Punjab Democratic Alliance's candidate Lal Chand.

"Sunny is a very credible and a very dependable person and I think it (fielding Sunny from Gurdaspur) is a great choice," Anupam Kher said here.

"I wish him great luck and I am 100 per cent sure that he is going to win," Anupam Kher told PTI.

Deol and Anupam Kher have worked together in many films like "ChaalBaaz", "Salaakhen", "Darr", among many others.

After joining the BJP in Delhi on April 23, Deol had said, "Whatever I can do for this family (BJP), I will do it. I won't talk, I will show you through my work."
To a question on elections in Chandigarh from where his wife Kirron Kher is seeking re-election, he said, "Rather than thinking of what the opposition is doing, we should strengthen on positive things. We should say what we can do and that should continue. I do not believe in just criticising the opposition. It is not going to help us."
