Sunny Deol Under Fire After Viral Video Shows Him Driving Without Seatbelt

As Sunny Deol gears up for the much-awaited theatrical release of Border 2 , the actor has found himself trending for an entirely different reason. A recent Instagram video, meant to offer a glimpse into his routine, unexpectedly sparked a road safety debate online.

Viral Clip Raises Eyebrows

In the video, Sunny Deol is seen driving his Defender while dressed in an army uniform. While fans admired the patriotic look, many were quick to notice one missing detail, the seatbelt. The oversight didn’t go unnoticed, and social media users swiftly pointed it out.

Fans React With Concern, Not Criticism

The comments section soon filled with reminders and gentle appeals. “Seat belt please (₹500 fine),” wrote one user, while another added, “Seat belt kaha hai traffic rules are rules.” Some comments struck a warm tone, like, “Paaji, please wear a seat belt. Love you sir, Jai Hind.” The reactions reflected concern and respect, stressing that safety rules apply to everyone.

All Eyes Still on Border 2

Despite the viral moment, excitement around Border 2 remains high. Slated as one of early 2026’s biggest releases, the film marks Sunny Deol’s return to the iconic war franchise. Directed by Anurag Singh, the ensemble cast includes Varun Dhawan, Ahaan Shetty and Diljit Dosanjh, along with Mona Singh, Medha Rana, Sonam Bajwa and Anya Singh.

Release Date and Buzz

While reports suggest the film may not release in certain Gulf countries, anticipation in India continues to build. Border 2 is set to hit theatres on January 23, 2026, promising action, emotion and nostalgia with fans hoping the headlines soon return to the film itself.
