Bobby Deol reveals ‘no one took’ him seriously as an actor: Stardom doesn’t last too long, I was a star once

In an exclusive chat, actor Bobby Deol, who will be soon seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, talks about the fickle nature of success and stardom.

At 54, actor Bobby Deol has left the internet swooning with his latest pictures - of him flaunting his chiselled muscles - “Age is not even a parameter, you need to start putting your mind to it. Health wise you need to understand that it’s the most important thing, otherwise you won’t be able to enjoy success. During failure you’ll even be worse, so take care of your health,” he says when you point out his shredded body.

Talking about failure, Deol is self-admittedly nonchalant. He doesn’t shy away from wearing his failures on his sleeves. His 28-year-long career witnessed several lows. “I knew that, if I fall, my parents will always be the cushion. But the fall hurts no matter how much cushion they gave me. As an individual guy, I had to stand up. No one can make or break you. Stardom doesn’t last too long. I was a star once, and it died, it vanished. No one took me seriously as an actor. I knew I had the potential, and the capabilities but nobody had given me an opportunity. I had chosen work which didn’t work for me so things went the other way around. So, I tried working on that and worked on myself as an actor,” the Love Hostel actor elaborates.
