Sanjeeda Shaikh comments on Sunny Deol returning to film work shortly after the death of his father, actor Dharmendra. According to multiple reports, Shaikh shares that she resumed or continued shooting for the film “Ikka” after Dharmendra’s passing and highlights Sunny Deol’s professionalism during the production. NDTV reports that Dharmendra died in November 2025 after dealing with age-related health issues, and frames Shaikh’s remarks around Deol continuing the shoot “days after” the funeral period.
Times of India and India Today both describe Shaikh praising Sunny Deol’s professionalism and his decision to come to set despite his personal loss. They also note that Shaikh reflects on what she considers lessons from experienced actors—discipline, dedication, and humility—suggesting that such traits support long-term success in the film industry. Across outlets, the focus remains on Shaikh’s remarks about Deol’s work ethic and conduct following his father’s death, rather than on any production details or new film plot developments.
