Renowned filmmaker Vikram Bhatt recently commended Bobby Deol’s character, attributing the actor’s humility and down-to-earth nature to his upbringing, particularly the influential role played by his mother, Prakash Kaur. Bhatt highlighted the resilience ingrained in Bobby Deol, emphasizing how the actor navigated through career highs and lows. Despite facing setbacks, such as the box-office failure of “Poster Boys” in 2017, Bobby Deol experienced a career resurgence in 2023 with the success of “Animal,” earning over Rs 900 crore and becoming the third-highest-grossing Indian film of the year.
Bhatt underscored the impact of family values, noting that both Bobby and his brother Sunny grew up in an environment where their mother, Prakash aunty, wouldn’t tolerate arrogance. The filmmaker emphasized that labeling individuals as ‘nepo kids’ overlooks the challenges they face, as witnessed in the Deol family’s journey. In this context, Bhatt acknowledged that growing up in the entertainment industry, even as a ‘nepo kid,’ brings its own set of difficulties.
