Mumbai, Sep 26 (NationPress) Renowned Bollywood director Karan Johar recently expressed his admiration for actor Bobby Deol on his social media platform. In a heartfelt post, Karan shared a video snippet from Bobby's podcast conversation with Raj Shamani, stating, “Bobby is undoubtedly one of the best individuals in our industry… kind, gentle, and overflowing with love… Witnessing his resurgence as a cinematic force in this second phase of his career makes the entire fraternity rejoice. I will always be his loudest supporter… and that’s a testament to his immense affection and goodwill!!”
In the video, Bobby discussed his journey, revealing that despite hailing from a Bollywood lineage, he faced challenges in securing the projects and recognition he rightfully deserved. He candidly spoke about how the continuous struggles in his life led him to seek comfort in alcohol.
Karan Johar’s sincere remarks underscore a reality that both the industry and fans have come to acknowledge.
Although early films such as "Barsaat", "Gupt", "Soldier", "Humraaz", "Ajnabee", and others showcased him as a promising star, Bobby's career faced significant stagnation. His charisma and on-screen presence were admired, yet he often found himself overshadowed in a fast-evolving industry. Nearly three decades into his career, Bobby has successfully reinvented himself through powerful performances that have amazed both critics and audiences. His gripping roles in "Animal", "Ashram", and the recent "The Ba***ds of Bollywood" have established him as a notable figure across all platforms.
Following the release of "The Bastards of Bollywood", Bobby has been making significant waves in the industry. This show also marks the directorial debut of Aryan Khan, son of Shah Rukh Khan.
Karan Johar's recognition of Bobby's resurgence signifies not just admiration but a broader celebration within Bollywood of an actor who has persevered and is finally garnering the acclaim he deserves.
