In the days after Dharmendra's passing on Monday, 24 November 2025, a small, almost ordinary moment from his life has drifted back into view. A clip from a television game show shows a father admitting his fear of dancing and his son answering with an impish grin. It is the kind of gentle inheritance that families pass down without intending to, a reminder that a legend's legacy is often most vivid in the small jokes between parent and child.
Sunny Deol's 'Like father like son' jab left Dharmendra speechless in a resurfaced Dus Ka Dum clip
"Like father like son," and Dharmendra was left speechless
Mark
Why is this small clip getting so much attention right now?
Mimi
Because Dharmendra died on 24 November 2025, and the clip shows him relaxed with his son, trading a joke about dancing. It's an ordinary moment, and that's what people are holding onto.
Mark
What actually happens in it?
Mimi
Dharmendra says he got very nervous during dance sequences and that Sunny seemed a bit better at it but still struggled. Sunny replies, "Like father like son," and Dharmendra is left momentarily speechless.
Luke
Worth saying the report describes the clip but doesn't say when the episode aired. We don't know how old it is.
Mark
The piece also talks about the family living together. What's the point there?
Mimi
Sunny told Brut that everyone in the house had their own rhythm and valued personal space. He said he and his father bonded more on the sets of 'Apne' and 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' than at home.
Mark
And the sons avoiding the room?
Mimi
He joked that Karan and Rajveer sometimes avoid being in a room with him, as he once did with Dharmendra, which he put down to respect and a bit of nervousness.
Luke
That's Sunny's own account, delivered with humour. It's one man's view of his family, not a verified description of how they lived.
Mark
What comes next for Sunny?
Mimi
'Border 2' with Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, plus 'Lahore 1947,' 'Gabru' and 'Ramayana.' The report gives no release dates.

A short clip from Salman Khan's game show 'Dus Ka Dum' has resurfaced in the days since Dharmendra died on Monday, 24 November 2025. Fans, family and the wider film industry are mourning the veteran actor, and the clip has been passed around as a reminder of the playful bond he shared with his son Sunny Deol.
The episode centred on dancing, a subject where Sunny, best known for intense action roles, has never felt at ease. Dharmendra admitted he used to grow extremely nervous before dance sequences, and said Sunny seemed more capable than he had been, though still found it hard. Sunny replied with a grin: "Like father like son." The line left his father briefly speechless, offering the audience a glimpse of their affectionate banter.
In a separate interview with Brut, Sunny described a household where everyone kept their own rhythm. Work and personal commitments often pulled the family in different directions, yet they still spent time together, and the shared sets of 'Apne' and 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' brought him and his father closer than home sometimes did. Sunny joked that his own sons now avoid sharing a room with him, a habit he admits he once had with Dharmendra.
A short clip from Salman Khan's game show 'Dus Ka Dum' has resurfaced in the days after the death of Dharmendra, who passed away on Monday, 24 November 2025. Fans, family and the wider film industry are mourning the veteran actor. The clip shows him in an easy moment with his son Sunny Deol, and it has been circulating as a reminder of the playful bond the two shared.
The subject on the show was dancing. Sunny is best known for intense action roles, and he has openly admitted that dancing never became his strength, even though his father wished he would master it. In the episode, Dharmendra spoke candidly about his own struggles with it. He confessed that he would grow extremely nervous whenever a dance sequence came up in a film. He added that Sunny appeared more capable than he himself had been, but that his son still found dancing difficult.
Sunny answered with a grin and a cheeky line: "Like father like son." The remark caught Dharmendra off guard, and he was momentarily left speechless. The exchange gave the audience a glimpse of the affectionate banter between them.
Sunny has generally kept his family life low-profile, though some details are well known. He married Pooja Deol in 1984, and the couple have two sons, Karan and Rajveer.
In an interview with Brut, Sunny described how the Deols lived under one roof. Everyone, he said, had their own rhythm and personal interests. In his younger days he was busy filming, Dharmendra was focused on his own commitments, and his brother Bobby was occupied with his projects. Sunny said his own sons have likewise been absorbed in their studies and self-growth. The family did spend time together, he said, but each person valued personal space.
Sunny recalled that on the sets of 'Apne' and 'Yamla Pagla Deewana,' he and his father often bonded more than they did at home. Those shared shoots strengthened their relationship and built a comfort between them that grew naturally over time.
With some humour, he also said Karan and Rajveer sometimes avoid being in the same room as him, much as he used to shy away from sharing a room with Dharmendra. Sunny attributed this to a mix of respect and a little nervousness, a pattern that appears to have passed down through generations.
On the work front, Sunny is in a phase of renewed momentum. He will appear in 'Border 2' alongside Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh and Ahan Shetty, and he has 'Lahore 1947,' 'Gabru' and 'Ramayana' lined up. Those releases will keep attention on the Deol family in the months ahead.
