Sunny Deol’s Private Life: Insights into His Marriage with Pooja Deol
Bollywood actor Sunny Deol, known for his iconic roles in Indian cinema, has managed to keep his personal life relatively private over the years. His wife, known as Pooja Deol, was born as Linda and adopted her current name upon marriage. Sources indicate that Pooja Deol is of mixed heritage, being half British and half Indian, and was raised in London.
According to information from Sunny Deol’s family connections, her father, Krishna Dev Mahal, is of Indian origin but lived in the United Kingdom. Pooja’s mother, June Sarah Mahal, is said to hail from an aristocratic British background.
Pooja Deol, contrary to popular belief, is not entirely detached from the film industry. She is credited with contributing to the story of the film “Yamla Pagla Deewana 2”. Moreover, she made a cameo appearance in the 1996 film “Himmat,” produced by Sunny Deol.
Sunny and Pooja’s relationship dates back to their childhood days when they were friends, a friendship that eventually blossomed into love and culminated in a secret marriage. The couple tied the knot in 1984, but Sunny Deol kept it under wraps until photographs were published in a magazine, leading to widespread public awareness.
Pooja Deol’s reserved lifestyle has also been discussed by Sunny Deol in various media interactions, including an episode of “Koffee with Karan,” where he explained their preference for privacy, emphasized by trips abroad to avoid the constant public attention in India.
The couple has two sons, Karan and Rajveer Deol. Following in his father’s footsteps, Karan Deol made his Bollywood debut with the film “Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas” in 2019.
