The Junior Deol not only got candid about the success of Dono but also spoke at length about nepotism. Rajveer shared, “I think nepotism exists everywhere, but because of the glitz and glamour in this industry, it is spoken about a lot here. I do agree that star kids have advantages; we meet directors faster, and we don’t have to do much for our names to get out. While other people really have to try hard to make their names. But at the same time, the disadvantages that we have are that our failures get more highlighted. We get compared to our parents, their success, image, and shadows. If someone else might not do well, we might not talk about it, but if a star kid fails, it makes headlines.”
Further, when asked how he handles the pressure and expectations that come with being the son of Sunny Deol, the star kid explained, “I try not to think about it. I believe you should just keep working because an idle mind is the devil's workshop. Keep doing things that make you feel like you are progressing towards your goal, rather than keep thinking about the pressure.” Dono Song 'Khamma Ghani': Rajveer Deol-Paloma Dhillon's Preppy New Track Crooned By Shivam Mahadevan and Shreya Ghoshal (Watch Video).

We also quizzed Rajveer about the valuable advice his father, Sunny Deol, gave him about the entertainment industry. Replying to this, Rajveer mentioned, “The advice that dad gave to me was very rewarding. He told me I don’t have to have any image; I'm like a junior Sunny Deol. I could be my own person and choose my path and make my mistakes. I think this is the best advice he gave me,” shared Rajveer.
