It has been a great year for Sunny Deol. The actor marked a return to the silver screen with Gadar 2, which turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year. Similarly, Sunny’s father Dharmendra and brother Bobby Deol made a mark with their roles in films Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Animal, respectively.
In a recent conversation, Sunny revealed that he is dyslexic and which is why he gets his dialogue in Hindi and reads the many times before delivering them in front of the camera.
What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects the way people read, write, and spell. It is a neurological difference in the brain that affects how information is processed. People with dyslexia have difficulty with phonological awareness, which is the ability to hear and manipulate the sounds in spoken language.
Symptoms of dyslexia include:
- Difficulty reading fluently
- Difficulty spelling
- Difficulty writing
- Difficulty sounding out words
- Confusion between letters and sounds
- Difficulty remembering written information
- Difficulty following written instructions
- Difficulty taking notes
Dyslexia is a lifelong condition, but it can be managed with proper support. With early diagnosis and intervention, people with dyslexia can learn to read, write, and spell at a level that is appropriate for their age and intelligence.
Here are some things you can do to help a child with dyslexia:
- Get the child tested for dyslexia.
- Provide the child with extra help in reading and writing.
- Use assistive technology, such as text-to-speech software.
- Encourage the child to read for pleasure.
- Help the child develop strong self-esteem.
It is important to remember that dyslexia does not define a person’s intelligence or potential. With the right support, people with dyslexia can lead successful and fulfilling lives.
Deol Dismisses Extensive Research for Roles
In a recent conversation with Bombay Times, Sunny Deol opened up about his approach to acting, dismissing the trend of extensive research that some actors indulge in before portraying a character. Drawing inspiration from yesteryear actors, including his father, who did back-to-back films without extensive preparation, Sunny labeled such research as “gibberish.” He emphasised that, except for biographical characters, he prefers interpreting roles in his unique way without meticulous research.
Overcoming Dyslexia Through Hard Work
The actor went on to reveal that he doesn’t have dialogues of his films as he is dyslexic. He shared that he can’t read and write properly. He also shed light on the challenges he faced in his academic journey. He said, “Earlier, we didn’t know what it was, and people would think..ki yeh duffer aadmi hai.” Sunny shared that he navigates his dyslexia by receiving his dialogues in Hindi, meticulously reading them multiple times to internalise and deliver them in the front of the camera.
Despite his challenges, Sunny Deol has carved out a successful career in Bollywood. He is an inspiration to many, proving that hard work and dedication can overcome any obstacle.
