SUNNY SINGH IS SECURE AND HAPPY
The actor reveals that he doesn’t believe in ‘limelight’; what matters is the love that he has been receiving from his fans
With his film Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (SKTKS) crossing the ₹100 crore benchmark, actor Sunny Singh finally feels that he has ‘arrived’ in the industry.
“Talking with regards to the masses, yes, I feel that I’ve arrived. In Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015), there were six of us (actors), but in SKTKS, we had good song and dance numbers; everything was larger-than-life. So, the feeling that’s there after the film’s release motivates me to work harder,” says the actor, who is rumoured to be a part of director Mohit Suri’s next.
After the release of SKTKS, his co-stars — Kartik Aaryan and Nushrat Bharucha, too, have been enjoying the limelight and it’s quite natural to feel that your colleagues are getting more attention. However, Sunny differs. “People, who know me well, know that I belong to the old school, where your hard work made people like you. The limelight is more of the sort, people coming up to me and saying they loved me. I’ve been getting messages from actors who didn’t even have my number, praising my work. Everybody has a different journey. I don’t believe in ‘limelight’, because every character is different. I’m very happy and secure with the attention I’m getting. Things will happen with the flow,” he says.
Sunny is ecstatic with the response he has been getting for the film. Asked if he was anticipating that the film will do exceedingly well, he confesses, “Honestly, I still don’t realise what’s happening. You can react when something either bad or good happens — something this good is yet to sink in. I knew that the film was going to be a hit, but had no idea about ₹100 crores. It’s because of Luv (Ranjan, director) sir that we are here, and the hard work we have all put in.”
