Bobby Deol recalls Dharmendra beating up his fan, later brought him home and gave him clothes: ‘He’s a man of action, doesn’t need words’

Bobby explained the incident when his father beat up a fan and shared, “Because when new fans come, they don’t know how to interact. They just get so excited. They might say something stupid or behave badly. And I was there watching it, wondering, ‘Why is my dad doing that?’ That man finally just fell at his feet and said, ‘I love you, sir. I’m sorry.’ My dad didn’t want to do it either, but the fan must have said something that really hurt him.”

Despite what had happened, Dharmendra’s instinct was to bring the fan home and take care of him. “Then Dad brought him inside, made him sit down, gave him milk to drink, food to eat, and even clothes. That’s just how he is. He’s a man of action, he doesn’t need words. If anyone upset my dad, then that’s it. People keep talking about my brother’s ‘dhai kilo ka haath,’ but you haven’t seen my dad’s hand. It’s like twenty kilos,” Bobby added with a smile.

In the same conversation, Bobby had also opened up about the strict and sheltered childhood he had, driven by his father’s fear for his children’s safety. Dharmendra had been warned about the notorious child kidnappers Ranga and Billa, prompting him to keep Bobby within the confines of their home. “My father didn’t let me leave the house at all. I returned from school and that was it. I even learned cycling inside my house. In college, when my friends started having house parties, I wasn’t allowed to go. I had a 9 pm curfew. I would go to friends’ houses, help them set up for parties, and leave,” he said.

While Bobby Deol is currently enjoying a fresh wave of success with Aryan Khan’s show The Bads of Bollywood, Dharmendra is set to appear next in Sriram Raghavan’s much-anticipated war drama Ekkis.
