Bobby Deol says despite parents Dharmendra-Prakash Kaur’s ‘cushion’, fall from stardom hurt: ‘I was a star once. It died’

The actor 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 people are selfish, and so 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,” the actor signed off.

Bobby Deol, who was last seen in the acclaimed feature Love Hostel, is now looking forward to the release of Ranbir Kapoor-Rashmika Mandanna film Animal.
