Currently basking in the success of his performance in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal,’ Bobby Deol opened up about his family and raising his kids. He admitted that his relationship with his sons is completely different from the one he had with his father, actor Dharmendra when he was young. Bobby and his wife, Tanya Deol, welcomed Aryaman in 2001 and Dharam in 2004.
Speaking in an interview, “When I was growing up, it was a different scenario all together. There was respect that you had to keep for your parents. You cannot go beyond certain things. With your mothers, you can still fight, still argue. Mothers are made like that, but fathers ke saath always jhijhak rehti thi (There was always a sense of hesitation with fathers).”
He added, “I saw that it didn’t happen with me and my kids, and it's not my dad’s fault because he grew up in the same environment, but I am a very broad-minded person. I never stopped my wife from working, or subdue her, or make her feel less about herself. I am what I am because of my wife.”
Bobby’s role as Abrar garnered a lot of attention from audiences. ‘Animal’ features the lead roles of Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Rashmika Mandanna. Released on December 1, the movie crossed Rs 600 crore gross worldwide by the time this edition went to print.
