Bobby Deol on the advantage of being a part of a star family

Once in an interview, Bobby Deol opened up about being a star kid and revealed the disadvantages of the same. He shed light on the nepotism debate and shared that he was constantly compared to his father, Dharmendra and brother, Sunny Deol. He said:

"It was an advantage initially. But beyond that, it's only your hard work, talent and luck that count. There are so many actors who come every Friday and vanish.

Bobby Deol's acting journey

Bobby Deol made his acting debut in 1995 with the film, Barsaat, and the audience immensely loved his character, 'Badal'. The film was a hit, and Bobby won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. However, the path after that was a complete rollercoaster ride of hit-and-flop films. For the unversed, the period from 2004 to 2013 was the darkest phase of Bobby's career, as his films failed to perform well at the box office. However, it was in 2018 when the actor made his comeback in Race 3 and went on to do the web series, Ashram and his recently-released film, Animal.
