Bobby Deol says, “Stardom doesn’t last too long, I was a star once, and it died”

Bobby Deol made a rollicking entry in Bollywood in the 1990s and then acquired fame through successful films like Barsaat, Gupt, Soldier, etc. However, years later, his career didn’t go the way he or his fans would have expected. There came a time after 2013 when Bobby didn’t have a single film released for four years. But he returned with Poster Boys and ever since has been doing films regularly.

In a chat with Hindustan Times, Bobby looked back at the down phase of his life. He said, “I knew that if I fall, my parents will always be the cushion. But the fall hurts no matter how much cushion they gave me. As an individual guy, I had to stand up. No one can make or break you. Stardom doesn’t last too long. I was a star once, and it died, it vanished. No one took me seriously as an actor. I knew I had the potential, and the capabilities but nobody had given me an opportunity. I had chosen work which didn’t work for me, so things went the other way around. So, I tried working on that and worked on myself as an actor.”

Bobby added that he realized that there is a time when people would want you, but you will also go through the opposite. The actor went through it and gave up once. “I fought back, and I realised that I have to make them (people) want me. How do I do that? By being a positive energy. Everyone needs to try to keep that positive energy. It is very difficult to do that. (But) I have been through it. There are weak moments in a day itself. I’m feeling absolutely happy, then during the middle of the day I feel weak and then at night, I’m happy. We all go through it.”

Bobby will next be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s biggie in the form of Animal, where Ranbir Kapoor plays the titular role. The film also stars Anil Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna.
