 "Netflix's 'The Ba***ds Of Bollywood' actor Bobby Deol on his father Dharmendra: 'There have been times when he has beaten up his fans because...'")
Bobby Deol has had a solid comeback to the movies after a four year gap between 2013 and 2017, when he wasn’t getting the kind of roles he wished to do as an actor. In the last three years, he has acted in Class of 83, Aashram, and Love Hostel. And with the raging success of Animal, where he played a monster called Abrar, he nailed the performance even in the three scenes he was in.
The actor was recently seen in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Ba***ds Of Bollywood. In an interview with Raj Shamani, Deol revealed something about his father and legendary actor Dharmendra not too many people know.
Bobby Deol revealed, “He’s never made anyone feel not special. He makes everyone he meets feel very special. He gives them so much respect and so much love, and that’s a rare quality to have.”
He added, “There have been times where, obviously, some fans have gone and done something stupid, and he’s beaten them up.”
When Dharmendra beat up his fans
Bobby Deol revealed, “Because when new fans come, they don’t know how to interact. They just get so excited.”
” They might say something stupid or behave badly. And I was there watching it, wondering, ‘Why is my dad doing that?’ That man finally just fell at his feet and said, ‘I love you, sir. I’m sorry.’ My dad didn’t want to do it either, but the fan must have said something that really hurt him,” continued the Gupt star.
In an interview with Firstpost back in 2023, Bobby Deol revealed, “The teaser and the trailer of the film went viral on the internet and it’s the most impressive trailer I’ve ever seen till date. Sandeep Reddy Vanga is a genius and for me, he’s one of the best directors I’ve ever worked with.”
He added, ”I didn’t think of him as a monster, I thought of him as a person who lost his grandfather in front of him when he burned himself alive and because of that, he lost his voice. He’s a very family-oriented man who swears revenge, and he would kill for his family. That’s how I prepared for my character, for me, he felt invincible.”
