Lord Bobby Deol's story: When it was published in the newspaper, 'Drunk Bobby was stabbed by a guard'

“Till date, I have never lay down on the set, never canceled any shooting. But people started calling me unprofessional. Rumors started being spread about me. No filmmaker was ready to give me work. They would say: He has earned a lot of money. It is no longer interested in working.”

These are the words of Bobby Deol. A hero whose hair to purple glasses all became a part of the nineties trend. Then came a period when his children started asking, 'Papa, why don't you go to work?' Many years later, an epidemic came and made him a lord and went away. (Bobby Deol Birthday)

Then comes the year 2023, a small role turns the wheel of time in such a way that there is talk of a spin-off of his character. Here is the story of Bobby Deol, who fell as a hero and rose as a villain.

# Dharmendra was afraid of just one thing

In childhood, when relatives would come to Bobby's house, they would pull his cheeks and say: He will become a hero. This thing stuck in his mind. He was still eight years old when his father gave him a job in his film. Dharmendra's film 'Dharam Veer' came out in 1977. In this, Bobby worked as a child artist. This was the first time when he faced the camera. After this Bobby was never seen as a child actor. The biggest reason for this is believed to be Dharmendra's fear. He was afraid that his son might end up becoming a child actor. That's why he also dropped the idea of ​​making a film about little Bobby. There is a Hollywood film Escapade in Japan, its hero is a child. Dharam Paji wanted to make it with Bobby. But Bobby's fear of being typecast did not allow him to make this film.

# 'Bandit Queen' eclipsed Bobby Deol's career

Now Bobby Deol had grown up. Dharmendra wanted to launch him properly. For this he started a project under his banner. Shekhar Kapur, who had made 'Mr. India', was directing it. Bobby and Twinkle Khanna were in the lead roles. Shooting started, but stopped after 27 days. The film could not be completed. It was during this film that Shekhar was offered 'Bandit Queen'. Now he had to choose between Bobby or Bandit. She chose 'Bandit Queen' and left Bobby's hand. Dharmendra also happily allowed him to go after initial objection, because he knew that Hollywood was waiting for Shekhar.

# Broken leg in debut film itself

Rajkumar Santoshi used to be a good friend of Sunny Deol at that time. He had made 'Ghayal' with them. Santoshi took the responsibility of launching Bobby. A film named 'Barsat' was made with Bobby and Twinkle Khanna. Sunny himself supervised this film. For this he did not do any work for a year. The shooting of the film was completed, but Sunny was not happy with his brother's entry scene. He wanted Bobby's grand entry in the debut picture.

To make it memorable the team reached Europe. First stop was Italy. Here Bobby had to fight with the real Tiger. Bobby did this on Sunny's request. After this the team reached UK, where Bobby had to do horse riding. Bobby was made to sit on the horse. The horse was running at high speed. Then suddenly he had a terrible collision with another horse. Bobby fell on the ground. The bone in his leg was broken. He was treated for a few days in the UK and had to have a rod inserted in his leg. The fortunate thing was that the shooting of the film had been completed, only the dubbing was left. Bobby completed the dubbing while staying in England. The film was released, Bobby's luck brightened. His work was liked. For this he received the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. But due to being in the hospital, he could not go to receive the award. The team gave him the award only after going to the hospital.

# Suddenly the rocket flew, and suddenly fell on the ground

Bobby's career took off after 'Barsaat'. After this his film 'Gupt' came. This can be considered the best film of his career. Then came 'Soldier'. Even if you have not seen the picture, you must have heard the song 'Soldier Soldier'. In this song Bobby had to wear a half sleeve T-shirt. But he was feeling shy. He did not want to show his skin. Then after his wife's persuasion he agreed. After this, Badal, Bichhoo, Ajnabee and Humraaz proved to be his big films. But after Humraaz, Bobby's pictures stopped running. Sunny's films were also not playing. Dharmendra's career was almost over. At that time, Anil Sharma made 'Apne' with all three. A slow flame of Bobby's career started, and then was immediately extinguished.

Bobby Deol in 'Soldier'

# Did Imtiaz Ali cheat Bobby Deol?

In 2005, Imtiaz made a film named 'Socha Na Tha' with Abhay Deol. This was the debut film of both Imtiaz and Abhay. Bobby liked the film. He expressed his desire to work with Imtiaz. Imtiaz was working on the script of 'Jab We Met'. Its title at that time was 'Geet'. No one was ready to invest money in the film. Ashtavinayak Studio wanted to make a film on Bobby. For this, Bobby put a condition before him to take Imtiaz as director. After some reluctance the matter was resolved. Bobby wanted Kareena to be signed for this film. But Kareena refused. Then Preity Zinta entered the film. He said yes, but gave dates after 6 months.

The picture was not starting in any way. Then one day Bobby read in the newspaper: Ashtavinayak Studio is going to make a film named Jab We Met. Imtiaz is directing it. Shahid and Kareena are in lead roles. Bobby was shocked. Because of this he stopped watching Imtiaz's films. But he is never seen speaking ill of Imtiaz. There is another version where Shahid is replaced by Bobby in 'Jab We Met'. It is said that Kareena Kapoor got Bobby removed from the film so that she could get Shahid's entry. Imtiaz also has his own version. He explains:

“I was feeling that Bobby would start the film. But he was being offered films from many big directors. He was saying that he will start with this film and will do it after this film.”

While doing this, a time came when Imtiaz felt that now he will have to move ahead. Because he had made only one film in the first five years. And was not working on any film for two years. That's why he signed Shahid in the film instead of Bobby.

# When it was published in the newspaper: Drunk Bobby was stabbed by a guard.

Bobby was having a bad time. He was not getting work. He had lost. Whenever Bobby would go out somewhere, his fans would tell him that they want to see you on screen soon. Then Bobby realized that he had fans, but filmmakers did not want to give him work. He started working on himself. Did gym, built body. Started taking care of my health. He was not in the habit of meeting people. But for work, he changed himself and started meeting people who considered him arrogant. But no one was ready to support Bobby.

Bobby was fed up, he planned his own comeback. Planned a film for myself. Grown a beard for him. But the picture is not complete with all this. This requires cash, which Bobby did not have. The movie stopped. During this time he also tried his hand in business. A restaurant cum banquet hall opened. Started playing in Celebrity Cricket League (CCL). The media also stopped focusing on Bobby. But 2014 was the year when Bobby again came into limelight, but the reason for this was not a film but a rumored slap. An English newspaper published the news that at Karan Johar's birthday party, Bobby was tased by a guard while under the influence of alcohol. Later, Karan said in a tweet, 'This is all a lie. We had a lot of fun.

DJ Bobby's tragedy

# 'DJ wale Bobby play my song'

In 2016, a news came that Bobby Deol has started working as a DJ. He went to a night club in Delhi as a DJ. Here he played only the song of 'Gupta' continuously. People got angry and started demanding their money back. Many memes were made on Bobby. However, later on, the genre of memes made him Lord Bobby, we will talk about that later. There was no truth in the news of Bobby becoming a DJ. Some man told him that he just had to come to the club and stand near the DJ console. Songs will keep playing automatically. Your brother will take care of it next. But when Bobby reached there, no one helped him. And Bobby did not know how to handle that console. So the same song kept playing on loop. After this incident, his friends started teasing him by saying DJ Bobby, play my song.

# Salman Khan climbed on his back

Well, the car was moving forward somehow. But his gait was like that of a tortoise. Then he met Salman Khan, about whom Bobby says: I think there is no one in the industry who has a bigger heart than him. Salman Khan met him at CCL and asked why he had grown a beard? Why don't you do some work? Bobby said, “What should I do, uncle does not give any work.” Salman's reply was, “That doesn't happen. See, when my career was not going well, I climbed on your brother's back.” Bobby got his chance. Salman asked for his back and said, “Mamu, now give me a chance to climb on your back.” Salman Khan gave that opportunity to Bobby in the form of 'Race 3'. The big opening this film got helped a lot in reviving Bobby's career. Then 'Housefull 4' came. The car started moving slowly.

# When a Pakistani made Lord Bobby

# Conquered OTT with 'Ashram' and theater with 'Animal'

Let us come back to Bobby's film career. The matter was beginning to settle down a bit. 'Race 3' and 'Housefull 4' started heating the engine of Bobby's career. But there was nothing like acting for Bobby in these films. That's why he turned to OTT. He did a web series named 'Class of 83', the public liked his work. Then Prakash Jha's web show 'Ashram' made his real comeback in the industry. Bobby himself says,

“I made a comeback with Race 3 and Housefull 4, but as an actor I was not satisfied with those films. People took me seriously as an actor when I did Ashram.”

When Bobby was playing the role of Baba Nirala. Then he did not let even a hint of this happen in his house. He felt that father or brother would not allow him to do this role. Anyway, he rolled. The free subscription of MX Player took him to every village of India.

Then one day Sandeep Vanga Reddy expressed his desire to meet. At the time of the meeting, there was a photo of Bobby in Sandeep's phone. This was the same look, seeing which Salman Khan in CCL had asked why has he grown his beard? Because of this photo, Sandeep wanted to sign him as a villain in his film 'Animal'. Bobby got the role and took his formal entry into the film industry with full swag.

At present he has four big projects. One is the sequel of 'Animal'. Apart from this, he will also be seen in three big South projects. These films are 'Kanguva' (Kanguva villain first look), 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu' and NBK109. The amazing thing is that the hero of the 90s will play the role of villain in all these films. We had told you, the story of Bobby Deol rising as a villain after falling as a hero. Let's go, thank you.
