Actor Sunny Deol says his family stands out in the film industry as they don’t chase money or become a “commodity”.Sunny’s son, Karan, is all set to make his big screen debut with Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, which the actor has also directed.

Though a star kid, Karan is hardly seen photographed getting in-and-out of eateries, airports or gyms.This, Sunny says, is a result of the Deol legacy which doesn’t believe in acting off camera.

“Ninety nine percent of the people do that and I wonder how do they have that energy. I can’t even do that for a little longer period once the shot is over. I can’t be anything but myself.

“For me happiness is not maximum hits, maximum money, but someone saying they liked my scene or my work. You get a craft satisfaction. That’s the difference between us and quite a lot of other people.” The 62-year-old actor says he felt both protective and supportive when Karan shared with him his aim to pursue acting.

“I asked him if he was absolutely sure about this. This is a profession which can hurt you, damage you. We have to be strong enough to face whatever comes our way. One needs to have love, passion and talent here. Acting is a compilation of a lot of realities of life which have to be brought together.
