Bobby Deol who turned a year older on January 27, was almost jobless until villainy visited his vicinity. After Prakash Jha’s webseries Ashram, where Bobby played a sleazy godman, and Love Hostel where he was a ruthless assassin, Bobby played the arcvillain to Ranbir Kapoor in Sandeep Vanga’s Animal.
Since then there is no looking back.
Bobby says it is not conscious career decision to play negative characters but a conscious decision to play interesting characters. “I don’t look at characters as positive or negative. When I watch films there is always one character that stays with you. I want to play that character.”
Speaking about his long absence from screen before Prakash Jha’s Ashram, Bobby says, “My fans would ask why I wasn’t being seen on the screen. And I couldn’t tell them it was because I wasn’t getting good roles. But my fans stood by me. They gave me the strength to keep looking for the right roles. Thankfully, I found the roles I liked. My new films have given me some new fans. I am thankful I am still here. Yeah , I am in a good space right now.”
