25 Years of Dhadkan EXCLUSIVE: When Suniel Shetty FINALLY answered internet’s BIGGEST question – how did Dev get so rich in JUST 3 years: “Maybe he owned a startup…”; confesses, “I enjoy the memes related to it a lot” 25 : Bollywood News

August 11 is a significant date for Suniel Shetty for more than one reason. This is the day when he celebrates his birthday. And that’s not all; this is also the day when one of the landmark films of his career, Dhadkan (2000), was released, 25 years ago. The film is remembered today for its performances, dramatic moments and of course, the unforgettable soundtrack. It tells the story of a poor man, Dev (Suniel Shetty) in a relationship with Anjali (Shilpa Shetty), who comes from a wealthy family. Dev misbehaves when he meets Anjali’s father for marriage. As a result, the latter gets Anjali married to Ram (Akshay Kumar). Anjali reluctantly gets hitched but soon falls for Ram due to his kind-hearted nature. Three years later, Dev makes a sudden re-entry. Dev is now wealthier than her and Ram and he wreaks havoc in their lives. Over the years, many have joked about this aspect and have often wondered – how did Dev go from rags to riches in a matter of just three years?

Two years ago, Bollywood Hungama spoke exclusively with Suniel Shetty on his birthday. When asked about how Dev turned rich so quickly and how it has been a social media discussion, the humble actor replied, “Yes, I am aware of people wondering how he became stinking rich then. I guess the character was futuristic (laughs). Today, you have kids in the first year who are unicorns. Dev made Rs. 500 crores. Today, kids make Rs. 5000 crores. Maybe he owned a startup that had something to do with health and walking!”

Suniel further said, “I enjoy the memes related to it a lot. So, in today’s world, it seems ‘Ho sakta hai. Aaram se ho sakta hai. Dev toh aaj Rs. 50,000 crores kama sakta hai’!”

This writer also asked whether the birthday in the year 2000 was extra special as it coincided with Dhadkan’s release. Suniel Shetty revealed, “I don’t fuss about birthdays. I get a bit uncomfortable with birthdays and people wishing me! But yes, of course, the success of Dhadkan will always be special for me. It is a special film for me, especially for an action hero who’s supposed to be non-romantic. So, when you get appreciated for such a role and especially when women come and tell you that they loved the film, it means a lot. That’s what an actor looks for – love and appreciation.”
