There was a time when Dharmendra made a splash in films and then his son Sunny Deol. Now an artist from his own village, Shahzad Deol has also entered the entertainment world. Shehzad is currently part of the 14th season of TV reality show ‘Bigg Boss’. His inspirations are Heir Ahluwalia and Diljit Dosanjh but since childhood he has been a fan of Sunny Deol. He liked his two and a half kilogram hand and action pictures. Before entering Bigg Boss house, Amar Ujala had a lot of conversations with Shahzad about his life.
First of all, tell me what is your relation with Deol family?
In Punjabis, people with the same surname are residents of the same village. As my surname is Deol so I am from Sahnewal Pind. However, I have not grown up there. My grandfather’s great grandfather must have lived there sometime and later he too moved out. But, if you ask our roots, she is still of the same body. So in a way we can be neighbors in our bodies. I have no blood relation to him. We both have only one village.

Now you are going to be a part of ‘Bigg Boss’. Have you seen any season of ‘Bigg Boss’ before?
I have seen four to five seasons of Bigg Boss and have also watched well. I have seen the last season very well. I have not seen the last two seasons of Gautam Gulati season, Gauhar Khan season, Vikas Gupta and Hina Khan season. I have seen all these days and nights very well.

How did ‘Big Boss’ see you while watching ‘Bigg Boss’ and you came here in ‘Bigg Boss’?
Its story begins two years from today. One day doing workouts in the gym. Along with me there was another human who used to workout in the gym. He offered me a show called ‘Top Model India’. This was my first reality show. It was Colors’ show. I came second in that. I have been very impressed with Heir Ahluwalia. I used to think that in the modeling world, a Sardar wearing a turban made such a big name internationally. Then I also did other shows in this getup. I also did ‘S of Space’. Her challenges were 10 times bigger than Bigg Boss.

You have already got experience. Then what are the different preparations you made?
My only preparation is that I have to try to spend more and more days in the least needs. And to keep ourselves busy is to keep people entertained. Apart from this, if I make some more strategy, then it will come out after two to four days and I will also come out.

Have you met Salman Khan, the host of this show before?
I am very desperate to meet him. By the way, I have met him once. It was five years ago. At that time Salman was shooting for Bigg Boss in Lonavla. At that time I was not even a part of this industry and I did not even know that I would work in this industry later. When one of my acquaintances took me there. There was a huge crowd of people there. Those who went with me had to take a photo of themselves with Salman Khan. So I too took advantage of the opportunity and I also took a photo with Salman Khan.

Did you take the blessings of your family members before doing this show?
Yes, even without his blessing, the leaf cannot move. His blessings are with me. My family is not very big. There is only my mother and my father in the house. I am their only child. There is a dog in the house named Bullet. My mother loves my dog Bullet more than me. My father works insid

Your family has nothing to do with art, so how did you become an artist?
On a flight from England, I saw a Punjabi picture. I felt confused about it. Then I started watching movies alone. At that time the film was set in that theater, ‘Mel Kara De Rabba’. Five minutes before the end of the film, Diljit Dosanjh’s entry takes place in that film. I first saw a Sardar with a turban on his head and working in films. I am very happy. Earlier, Jaspal Bhatti and Daler Mehndi had also appeared on screen but he did not come as a star that way. But, Diljit changed everything. He has also done films with Akshay Kumar and he still wears a turban. I get this inspiration from here that if I can do it then why can’t I do it.
