Bobby Deol says his mother Prakash Kaur always stood by dad Dharmendra: ‘My wife has been my pillar during good, bad times’

Even as an 89-year-old, the veteran actor continues to exude his charm to the audience, and fans still crowd outside his house with posters. Talking about the admiration, he said, “It’s just the way my dad has been. From the word go, when he started his work and entered the industry, he has never met people as a star meets somebody. He always met them as a human being. He is connected with them. He has done so much for so many people. He has been very genuine about it from the heart. I think that’s the reason why love for the Deols has existed to date. It’s all thanks to him.”

“I have seen my dad surrounded by people who made a bubble around him, as if he were something special. But that’s the one thing I learnt from my dad; he never got carried away with what people made him feel about himself. He always stayed grounded and true to himself,” the actor added.

Bobby credited his and his brother’s similar upbringing to both Dharmendra and their mother Prakash Kaur. “It’s not just my dad’s contribution. It’s my mother, grandmother, and after I got married, it’s been my wife. She has really been there and stood right next to me through good and bad times. It’s just how my mother stood by my dad. My biggest strength is my wife Tanya. She has believed in me and always told me that I am special,” he expressed.

On the professional front, Bobby Deol was last seen in the Telugu action drama Daaku Maharaaj. He has several upcoming projects in the pipeline, including the YRF Spy Universe film Alpha, the Tamil political action drama Jana Nayagan, and a comedy thriller with Priyadarshan.
