From the frustrated lawyer thirsting for justice in 'Damini' to a Major in the Indian Army in 'Border', Sunny Deol has donned the hat of a politician from BJP contesting from Gurdaspur seat in Punjab. The veteran is the third member of his family to join politics (and the third to join the BJP) after his father Dharmendra, who contested the 2004 Lok Sabha elections from Bikaner in Rajasthan, and his step-mother Hema Malini, who is up for re-election from Mathura in Uttar Pradesh. The combination of his family's political appeal, his Jat background and some of his roles meant that a political career was never an improbable prospect.
