Bobby Deol opens up on his fleeting stardom, says ‘no one took me seriously as an actor’
Bobby Deol, who made his debut in 1995 with blockbuster Barsaat, has seen tremendous highs and lows in his career. The 54-year-old, who made a comeback with the OTT series Aashram, recently opened up on the rise and fall of his stardom and how despite coming from a film family, it wasn’t the most easiest of journeys.
In an interview to Hindustan Times, Bobby opened up and 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.”
The actor carried on, “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 also delved on how quickly the tables turn in this industry. He added, “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 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. I have been through it. ”
