Bobby Deol has been part of the Bollywood film industry for the past 28 years, and from leading parts, multi-starrers and now, web shows, he has done it all. However, it cannot be ruled out that there was a time period when he was not getting the work he desired.
Now speaking to Hindustan Times, the actor said that he too was a star once, but stardom does not last long. Hence, every actor needs to adapt and re-adapt himself.
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 did whatever he could to make himself more appealing, both work and fitness wise. “Human beings are selfish.There is a time when everybody wants you and there will be a time when nobody wants you. I have been through that and I gave up. 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,” he signed off.
He was last seen in the acclaimed feature ‘Love Hostel’, and will feature next in the Ranbir Kapoor-Rashmika Mandanna film ‘Animal’.
