Sunny Deol has refused to comment on the speculations around the auction notice issued for his bungalow in Mumbai and its subsequent withdrawal by the Bank of Baroda. The actor said it is a personal matter and he would not like to comment. 

'I do not want to comment. These are personal matters. Main kuch bhi bolunga, log galat matlab nikalenge,' Deol said. 

In a public notice on Sunday, the Bank of Baroda said it would e-auction 'Sunny Villa' in the Juhu area of the city on September 25.

However, in a corrigendum issued on Monday, the bank said the e-auction notice published on August 20 stands withdrawn due to technical reasons.

The Gurdaspur MP, whose latest movie Gadar 2 is a box office success having already grossed over Rs 300 crore since the release last week, has been in default on a Rs 55.99 crore loan from the bank, interest and penalty, since December 2022.

Bank of Baroda said the auction notice was withdrawn after the borrower agreed to settle dues as well as due to certain technical reasons.

Explaining the technical reasons, the second largest public sector lender said the total dues did not specify the exact quantum of dues to be recovered. Also, the sale notice was based on a symbolic possession of the property as per Rule 8(6) of the Security Interest (Enforcement) Rules 2002.

Bank of Baroda issued a statement on Monday, saying that Deol has offered to settle the dues, hours after it withdrew the public notice to auction the villa owned by the actor and sitting BJP Member of Parliament, citing technical reasons, a move that was questioned by Congress.
