Further, in the same conversation, Sunny added that Rajveer had problems in school because he was dyslexic. But fortunately, he and his wife, Pooja, were aware of his problem and knew how to handle it. The actor also mentioned that he had issues with other kids at the school, but he was always focused on his work. In his words:
"But it was fortunate that we knew what it was and also tackled it pretty well. So, obviously, I am sure he had issues with all the kids at school. But bachas have to handle themselves. That's a growing-up journey, basically. So, I have seen him as a boy, who has always been focused, determined, wanting to do what he wants to do and he has taken any shortcomings so seriously."
Earlier, in an interview with Lallantop, Sunny revealed the advice he received from his father, Dharmendra and then passed on to his son, Rajveer. Talking about the same, the actor stated that he advised his son to always follow his heart. Adding that films are an art for his family, Sunny said:
"I gave him the advice that my father gave me, ‘Whatever you do, do it from your heart and do what you love.’ We take films as an art and not look at them commercially. What is a star? If your film works, you are a star."

"Mai dyslexic tha. Par us waqat kisi ko kya pata dyslexic kya hota hai hamari umar me, that time. Thapad padte the duffer hai padai ni aandi. Abhi bhi main likhna padne me woh ho jata hu like words mereko kuch aur dikhte the. Mujhe takleef hoti hai isliye main kitni baar kahi jau bhi to main jyada bolne se initially, suru mein kahi mujhe mic pakda dete mai sochunga ki bolu kya."
