Lucky Oye! ‘, highlighting how these characters defied traditional stereotypes.
When asked about his own sexuality, Deol expressed that he views it as a spectrum and rejects the traditional Western approach of defining sexuality in rigid terms.

He noted that his stance might be seen as controversial but clarified that he doesn’t want to confine himself to specific definitions. He also commented on the comfort people find in categorizing others, but he believes it’s unnecessary to do so for one’s own identity.
