Sunny Deol's real mother is alive - Smt. Prakash Kaur, and his father don't give divorce to her real mother either. Would be great if you could update it. 117.196.199.106 (talk) 16:42, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

 Done with a bit of rewording. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 20:18, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

@Dympies: Is the news source for the full name more reliable than the affidavit . I don't think it is. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:29, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Fylindfotberserk, myneta.info isn't a reliable source. Dympies (talk) 11:31, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

@Dympies: A lot of times scanned copies of candidate affidavits are posted in it, so not exactly non-RS. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:34, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

It is CTOPS to mention religion, either Sikh or Hindu, since there are sources mentioning both. This one for example, mentions "Punjabi Jat Hindu". - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:37, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

It's the only such source and might thus be an error, there are many other academic sources confirming his Sikh heritage. Metamentalist (talk) 18:40, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Metamentalist: News portal photo-montages are not as reliable as interviews and affidavits. Besides, you've added a source talking about the subject's father, and not him. Also the source mentions Dharmendra's father's name as "Kewal Kishan Singh Deol" which is incorrect, hence proves my point. There is no "Singh" in his name per the affidavit . Anyway mentioning religion is contentious, so better not to mention it. Pinging@Dympies:. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:52, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

In this interview source, the subject's father says, "I am a Hindu. The question of my having ever changed religion does not exist.". Also wearing "Sikh symbols" (as you've put in the edit summary) doesn't mean much. Firstly, he has played Sikh characters in films, secondly a lot of Sikhs and Hindus wear symbols of each other's faiths. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:13, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I've tried to look for different sources and I now tend to agree with you, there's no self identification as "Sikh" from any of the 3 Deol actors, sorry for misunderstanding your point, I've also retired the "Sikh" reference from Bobby Deol's page, thanks for your clarifications. Metamentalist (talk) 20:40, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

@Metamentalist: No probs. You are welcome. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 21:00, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Check his affidavit: he uses the name Ajay Singh Dharmendra Deol , and his son, Karan Deol, married in the traditional Sikh way 106.196.75.142 (talk) 13:22, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

The mid-name "Singh" doesn't imply Sikh background nor marriage in a certain style (see WP:OR). Sunny Deol explicitly said in an inerview that they follow Arya Samaj traditions. We add what is explicitly mentioned per WP:NOR. And if this is Robzz, I'd suggest using the registered ID instead of an IP. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:31, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Marriage is not a small matter. Yes, Sunny Deol said he is Arya Samaj, but he never abandoned Sikhism, if he had, he wouldn’t have married his son according to Sikh rites instead of Arya Samaj ones.BackspaceP (talk)

We do not include personal analysis in Wikipedia articles. See WP:OR. BTW his father explicitly said "I'm a Hindu", not sure what the subject is abandoning". If you have an interview from a reputable source where the subject explicitly says he is a Sikh, link it here for further discussion. Let's not make it forumy, which is against WP:TALK#USE. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 14:34, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

Year of birth is 1956 not 1957 2405:201:C029:1981:8B60:C633:8CEF:E6B (talk) 16:50, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

 Not done Can't do. According to the official parliament profile it is 1957. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 17:49, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

According to OneinIndia and other sources, the year of birth is 1956. According today he is 68 not 67 Hussain is great (talk) 16:20, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Oneindia is not a reliable source; also in case of ambiguity the official parliament records are always prioritised TheSlumPanda (talk) 16:30, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Filmibeat article Hussain is great (talk) 16:34, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

Filmibeat is not reliable either. Even, the accepted reliable sources would not do since the '1957' birth date comes from a more trusted source - Deol's Indian Parliament, Lok Sabha Profile. Unless Mr. Deol claims in an interview that he was indeed born in 1956 and not 1957, the current one is the correct one. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 19:23, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
