Two days after meeting BJP president Amit Shah, Bollywood actor Sunny Deol joined the party here on Tuesday.

He joined the party in the presence of Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Railway Minister Piyush Goyal.

Welcoming him, Nirmala Sitharaman called the actor a firebrand, who was committed to his art form.

Appreciating his work in ‘Border’, she said Deol has touched the people with his nationalist image and he was someone who understood the pulse of the people.
