Dharmendra had earlier expressed his reservations over Sunny Deol contesting polls from Gurdaspur, as he said Mr Jakhar’s father Balram Jakhar was “like my brother”. Sunny Deol too had openly acknowledged that he did not “know much about issues like the Balakot strikes or India’s relations with Pakistan. I am here to serve people; if I win maybe I will have an opinion, right now I don’t,” he had said.

Gurdaspur has traditionally been a BJP stronghold, with late actor Vinod Khanna the lawmaker from that seat in 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2014 until his death.
