Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra on Monday said that his family doesn't know much about politics but patriotism runs high in their blood.
Speaking about his son and Bollywood actor Sunny Deol, who will be contesting Lok Sabha polls from Punjab's Gurdaspur on a BJP ticket, he said that "Sunny will also serve the nation".
"We don't know the ABC of politics but patriotism is in our blood, we will serve the nation. What I did in Bikaner you can go and see, Sunny will also serve the nation," Dharmendra told media today.
