During a conversation with Savera Star Talks, the actor was questioned about the difference between Sunny and his father Dharmendra’s roles during their 60s. “I never realised what my age is. The day I feel from the inside that I am old enough, will be the day I will move out from such roles. I still feel like the same young hero. I have been doing the same thing I used to do before, nothing less,” he replied.He also spoke about staying fit, explaining that he has a habit of waking up early and working out. “I have always had a habit of waking up early in the morning. I wake up before sunrise, around 5:30 am. It is an automatic cycle for me. I workout after waking up because the adrenal becomes positive for the whole day. I do it on my own – both cardio and weight training,” he said.
