Bobby Deol says he worked with Salman Khan to get noticed
Bobby Deol has worked with several big Bollywood stars in his career, one of them being Salman Khan. While talking about his personal and professional journey, the Barsaat actor shared that Salman Khan, whom he fondly refers to as Mamu, called him one day and asked, "Shirt utarega?" and that’s how he got the 2018 movie Race 3.
In the interview with Curly Tales, the Yamla Pagla Deewana actor admitted that he wanted to be a part of the big films because, as an actor, the younger generation didn’t know much about him.
“I knew that if I worked with Salman, they would all go to watch the film, and they would notice this actor called Bobby, and it worked,” he recalled. Bobby further added that after Housefull 4, little kids started coming up to him because of the comic caper.
Bobby Deol says OTT changed his career
Deol was also seen in the TV series Aashram, which, according to him, made a huge difference in his career. “I think OTT was something where I, as a character, got a chance to do characters that I was dying to do. It started with Class of 83, then I got Aashram, got Love Hostel, and it all collectively helped him move forward,” he stated, adding that one photograph of him made Sandeep Reddy Vanga cast him as Abrar in Animal.
Bobby Deol admits to being a shopaholic
During the same interview, the Housefull 4 actor admitted that his only wish is to be able to shop whenever he wants. “I mean, every time, every day, your choices keep changing. I am a shopaholic,” he stated, adding that as a kid, he used to hate shopping.
Taking a trip down memory lane, Deol divulged that as a kid, he was chubby. He would go to shop with his mother, Parkash Kaur, but would end up getting annoyed because no kid’s clothes would fit him. They would have to shop for him from the adult section, but he used to get fed up because the waist would fit, but the length would not.
But after he became tall and lost weight at the age of 15, he went shopping with his father, Dharmendra. Since the senior actor didn’t have much patience to shop, he went to a store and asked them to randomly pack clothes in their sizes. After he tried them on, they fit him perfectly, and that’s how he fell in love with clothes. He got passionate about sunglasses after watching his father sport them in his movies.
