You don't have to live up to an image to be a man: Sunny Deol

The father-son may be mostly associated with their "He Man" personas in films down the decades, but Dharmendra and Sunny Deol have always been unapologetic about showing their emotional, gentler side off screen.

Crying in public doesn't denote being strong or weak, said Sunny, who is all set to launch his son Karan Deol in the romance drama "Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas" presented by Dharmendra.

"We are so connected with our family. I'm getting emotional while talking about it. I can't help it. We are like that. A man is a man. You don't have to live up to an image to be a man. You are a man anyway, so what do you have to live up to?
"People feel as I'm from the fraternity, things pan out very easily. It's not like that. I want to do the most and there's a lot to be done. Time is of the essence. It doesn't matter how much you rush after it. Hopefully some things will follow. I definitely want to do (films) because I like to be thrown into challenges, where I shock myself."
