Bobby Deol revealed he decided to skip the end of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, which starred dad Dharmendra.

What Bobby Deol said

During the new interview with Pinkvilla, Bobby said, "Wo character agar koi aur karta toh maza hi nahi ata. Papa made it magical. (If the father's character was played by any other actor, it wouldn't have been that interesting). Actually when I was watching the film, mereko kahaani nahi malum thi (When I was watching the film, I did not know the story), my dad's character dies in it, couldn't see the film. I was at Karan Johar's trial and I couldn't stop crying because my father somehow, I just couldn't handle it and I left and won't see the ending of the film."

Bobby further added, "Because that's how we are, we love each other. We are very connected family. I know he is playing a part but still. When I did Animal, my mum couldn't handle death scene."
