Sunny Deol, who had a stellar last year with the roaring success of Gadar 2, shared with NDTV why he is perceived as a snob. He said, "I am a people's person and I go out where I am interacting with my fans and people, then it's lovely. I am an early riser. So, I am not the guy who goes to parties. Initially, I hardly went anywhere. People used to think I am very snooty, very snobbish, and this, and that. But then they eventually understood ki yeh sharmata hai [that he is shy.] Aana nahi chahta hai yeh. [He does not wish to come.] He doesn't drink. He doesn't know what to do. So, nahi ata. [So, he does not come.] They understood me afterwards. So, there is no invitation after that. Because pata hai, yeh nahi aane wala.[Because they know what I would not come.]" Take a look:
