Bobby Deol, who recently made headlines for his powerful roles in movies like Animal and Kanguva, has a beautiful love story that he cherishes for life. The actor met his now-wife Tanya, about thirty years ago when both of them happened to visit Mumbai’s iconic Italian cafe, Trattoria, at the same time. It was love at first sight for the actor, who chased the girl of his dreams until she fell for him too. At the third edition of SCREEN LIVE, Bobby Deol recalled chasing his wife Tanya Deol, who initially was not interested in him.
Speaking about his wife, Bobby Deol said, “She’s my woman, my life, everything. She is the best thing that could have happened to me. I met her, I chased her… she was from South Bombay, she didn’t give me any attention, but I still chased her. Somewhere I knew, she will fall in love with me. And then she did. We met, and in two months, we decided to get married. By this time, my parents were just dying for me to get married.”
He added how Tanya has been his support system throughout. “We have been married for almost 29 years and she has been with me through everything. It is the most difficult thing to leave everything behind and become part of another family. I have sisters, so I know the feeling. Despite ours being a joint family, she stood by us the whole time. She takes care of everything I do. I am very blessed. I don’t want to brag much, nazar lag jayegi. But she is my Taanu.”
Previously, in an interview with Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, Tanya shared her side of the story. She said, “We first met at Trattoria. I was there for a cup of coffee. He knew one of my friends. After that, I saw him for a couple of nights. But, I didn’t care. I didn’t know who he was and neither did I bother. I saw his film after I started dating him. We were playing cards at one of the parties, and he kept losing to me, and he refused to pay. He said, ‘I will take you out for a meal.'”
She added, “A while later, he called me up at an absurd hour at night and I was fast asleep. I picked up the call, and I said, ‘I will call you back tomorrow.’ He said, ‘You don’t know who I am’ and I said, ‘It’s okay’ and I put the phone down. The next day, I checked with my friends if it was them who called me, but none of them had a clue. A week later, he called me again. And we ended up taling for about eight hours.”
