After giving us movies like ‘Barsaat’, ‘Ajnabee’, ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’ among others, Bollywood actor Bobby Deol is set to kickstart his second innings in the industry but this time, in a dark and deadly avatar.

Talking about maturing through the process and his journey in the industry, he said, “I think every individual wants to change a lot in their journey,” The Indian Express quoted him saying.
“I come from a very sheltered environment and I think I took time to grow up in the sense of learning from the surroundings and taking informed decisions and making smart choices. But I have always tried to be focused.”
“But it’s just that you don’t understand what focus really means until you lose out on so much. And when you do, you realize the importance of working hard every day,” he added.

People might think that his elaborate family background and the fact that he is the son of the legendary Dharmendra and brother of actor Sunny Deol would have helped him a lot in his career. However, things are not what they seem. If that was the case, he would “have never run out of work.”
“It has been a battle to get work again. By now, the whole world has realized that even though I come from a filmy background, I had to work hard to get good work. So, I am working hard, trying to get good work, and proving myself with my talent. And I hope that my work will speak for me.”

Speaking about the family dynamics the siblings and their dad share, he said, “I don’t discuss anything of my work with them and they don’t discuss theirs. We just do what we want to do.”
We don’t influence each other as to what we should do or not do because each individual is a different person and we have our thought process or opinion.”
“For instance, we may watch the same movie and not like it because we look at it differently,” he divulged.

But he always adheres to the one advice from his dad and his brother gave him, i.e. “Never give up and just be positive.”
“It is also something I tell to everyone younger than me. I tell them that you have to be prepared and ready for everything in this industry. Anyone can come knocking on your door for work but if you’re not prepared, you won’t get it.”

Having a family member in a business before you does give a push. However, one has to pave the way on their own just like Bobby did.
