Well, while the couple had found their soulmates in one another, the choice to keep their wedding a secret for the longest time was a conscious decision taken by the Deol family.

While everything went smoothly between Pooja and Sunny for a long time, there were a few episodes of turmoil that shook the very base of their relationship. Well, we speak about the popularly gossiped link-up rumours of Sunny Deol with his co-actresses, Amrita Singh and Dimple Kapadia, respectively. Sunny's reckless behaviour had obviously hurt Pooja, but she never gave up. Moreover, she had the abundant support of her in-laws, Dharmendra and Prakash Kaur.
In their over 39 years of togetherness, Pooja and Sunny had been joined in by their sons, Karan Deol and Rajveer Deol. The two talented star kids have taken in their parents' genes from similar creative fields. While Karan has already made his debut as an actor with the 2019 film, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, Rajveer, too is set to follow in the footsteps of his father and elder brother with his upcoming film, Dono.
For a long time now, it has been popularly tagged that the women of the Deol family are forced to keep themselves out of the constant media attention compared to their successful actor-husbands. However, this has not been the case for Pooja Deol, as it has been her conscious decision to do so. Proof of the same was found when in one of Sunny Deol’s earlier interviews, he had dismissed the notion of forcing his wife to seclude herself from media attention. He mentioned:
“Neither my mother nor my wife was forced to stay away from the limelight. My wife is her own person. She has always had the liberty to make her own decisions. To not make public appearances is her own call. Like I said, neither my father (Dharmendra) nor I have forced the women in our family to follow our rules.”
Well, contrary to the belief of the women of the Deol family not making much public appearance, it was finally during the wedding of Karan Deol that it got busted. For the unversed, the happy parents, Sunny Deol and Pooja Deol witnessed their firstborn son, Karan take the nuptial vows with his longtime ladylove, Drisha Acharya on June 18, 2023. Karan's wedding was an extravagant affair, and the internet was filled with lots of memorable pictures and videos from the same. And offcourse, the happy mommy, Pooja, too made a glamorous appearance in all of them. From posing in gala family pictures to dancing her heart out at her son's baarat, Pooja looked overjoyed.
