It was a close shave for actor-turned politician Sunny Deol on Monday, when one of the tyres of the sport utility vehicle (SUV) he was traveling in burst on the Amritsar-Gurdaspur national highway.

According to the Police,  Deol’s car met with an accident near Sohal village on Gurdaspur National Highway. As per report, at least four vehicles in Sunny Deol's convoy rammed into each other, though no one was injured. The actor was on his way for a roadshow. He, subsequently, left the spot in another vehicle.

Sunny Deol, 62, is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Akali Dal alliance candidate from Gurdaspur, the seat represented four times by yesteryear actor Vinod Khanna, who passed away due to cancer in April 2017.

The Gurdaspur Lok Sabha seat had been represented by late actor Vinod Khanna four-times--1998, 1999, 2004 and 2014.

Meanwhile, Dharmendra, who is campaigning for his son, told reporters that he has come to Gurdaspur to understand people's pain and to become the remedy.  He said Sunil Jakhar is like his son as he had good relations with his father and former Lok Sabha speaker Balram Jakhar.

Dharmendra told ANI, "Balram Jakhar was like my brother, had I known his son Sunil Jakhar was contesting from Gurdaspur, I would have not allowed Sunny (to contest against him).”
