Sunny and Bobby Deol are two of Bollywood’s most cherished siblings and they have never failed to captivate audiences with their enduring bond. Recently, Bobby reminisced about certain events from their childhood, shedding more light on their adorable relationship.

Expressing that Sunny is like a father figure to him, Bobby, while speaking at the Jagran Film Festival, emphasised how blessed he feels to have his elder brother in his life.

“Since he was 10 years older than me, he left no stone unturned to show that he was superior in every aspect. Despite his poor academic performance, he used to pester me about my studies, making me wonder why he wasn’t concentrating on his own,” Bobby told the audiences, hearing which they burst into laughter. “I think his notion was that at least I excelled where he couldn’t,” Bobby added.

“But I didn’t understand it back then. I kept wondering why he was telling me all this when, after all, he was just my brother, not my father. I feel very fortunate that my brother has been…” Bobby’s words were cut short as he became emotional.

Discussing the challenges he and his family have faced, Bobby emphasised that life has its highs and lows. “You might think about our struggles just because we are celebrities. But, in reality, everyone in this world experiences ups and downs. It’s simply a part of life because I don’t see anyone succeeding every day in their endeavours. So, the only way to cope is by not giving up,” he reflected.

“My brother is a big-hearted man who has always been there for me. During tough times, I remember him advising me not to dwell on our stardom but to see ourselves as beginners and put in the effort,” Bobby added.

Bobby Deol is currently gearing up for the release of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s actioner Animal, in which he will be featured alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna and Anil Kapoor.
