Ib the field of acting at least, its extremely difficult to be successful if one of your parents is a "legend" in the industry and you share the same gender.

From Abhishek Bachchan to Esha Deol to Jahnvi, we have seen sons and daughters of #1 stars fail to be even moderately succesful in their career.

And I think the constant comparison to their parents acting, looks, screen presence did play a role in their failure.

Comparisons crept up and ofc they couldnt live up to it. And these names later on became punching bags and laughing stock mostly.

So what made Sunny be the exception?

Dharmendra was HUGE in his heydays. When children of a star of his stature and status debut, comparisons are inevitable and mostly they depict the nepo kid in poor light.

However Sunny seems to have defied the norm

What amazes me that not only did Sunny go on to become one of the reigning superstars in the 80s and 90s but he thrived in pretty much the same genre as his dad- action hero.

Is he just unusually lucky ?

This luck didnt seem to rub off on Esha Deol lol.
