Mumbai: Even though he was one of the favourites of the ’90s generation, Bollywood actor Bobby Deol, also the son of yesteryear superstar Dharmendra, has found a new generation of audience through some of his successful web films and web series in the last two years.
The actor says his father is quite emotional and proud of the recent success that he has achieved through the web shows.
In conversation with reporter, Bobby shared, “Yes he is a star of Hindi cinema but for us, he is our papaji. He is very emotional and proud of my current success also because this medium of OTT is very different and new for their generation.
“For him, he always says and makes us believe that the love from the audience is more important than awards. My father in the prime of his career did not receive those film awards but he was always loved by the audience. Now when he sees how my work is getting recognised by a new generation of audience, it makes him feel proud.”
Bobby made his Bollywood debut with the film ‘Barsaat’ in 1995, delivering some of the successful films such as ‘Kareeb’, ‘Soldier’, ‘Bichhoo’, ‘Ajnabee’, ‘Humraaz’ and ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’.
He made his OTT debut in 2020 with a Netflix film ‘Class of 83’ and web series ‘Aashram’. Both of them were well received.
