Sunny Deol has reacted to his viral video that shows the seemingly drunk actor at Juhu Circle in Mumbai. Mr Deol is seen walking unsteadily and unable to hold himself in the middle of the road and an auto driver comes and gives him a lift. Social media users were shocked to see the clip and asked if the actor was actually drunk. The actor has shared the video himself on X as behind the scene clip from his upcoming movie 'Safar'.
"Afwaahon ka 'Safar' bas yahin tak (the journey of rumours ends here)," Mr Deol said in his tweet, hinting at his new movie with the word 'Safar'. He also added a folded hands emoji.
