Why Bobby Kept His Role Under Wraps
Bobby Deol is spilling some juicy details about his career-defining role in the web series Aashram. The actor, who is currently promoting his upcoming film Bandar, recently appeared on Shekhar Tonite with host Shekhar Suman. And what he shared about his comeback project is pure gold.
When Bobby first heard the narration for Aashram, he was so blown away that he decided to keep it a secret from almost everyone in his family. The reason? The bold and sensitive nature of the scenes. The actor revealed that he only told his wife, Tanya Deol, about the series. “First of all, when I heard the story I didn’t tell my father, my mother, or even my brother. I only told one person – my wife. I had to tell her; otherwise, if she found out later, I would’ve been in trouble,” Bobby shared.
But it wasn’t just about avoiding trouble at home. Bobby admitted he was nervous about how his family would react to him playing such a dark, negative character. “I knew I wasn’t going to be offered hero roles anymore. That is why when I accepted this show I did not tell anyone. I was waiting for the show to come out and then see their reaction,” he explained.
Wife Tanya: The Real Backbone
Bobby didn’t just stop at the secret-keeping part. He went on to give major credit to Tanya Deol for being his rock during tough times. The actor got emotional while talking about how she handled everything when his career hit a rough patch. “Whatever I am today is because of my wife. When I was going through a bad phase, she handled the entire house. I think she is my backbone,” he said.
It’s no secret that Bobby’s career went through a dry spell before Aashram came along. But instead of giving up, he chose to take risks. The series, directed by Prakash Jha, turned out to be a game-changer. Despite playing a negative role, Bobby’s performance earned him massive praise from fans and critics alike. The actor confessed that he has always wanted to explore different shades and characters rather than sticking to one type of role.
For Bobby, Aashram wasn’t just a comeback – it was a statement. He proved that he’s ready to shed his old image and take on bold, challenging projects. And his wife Tanya was right there with him, cheering him on every step of the way.
What’s Next for Bobby Deol?
With Aashram behind him, Bobby Deol is gearing up for an exciting lineup. He will next be seen in Bandar, directed by Anurag Kashyap. The film boasts a stellar cast including Sanya Malhotra, Sapna Pabbi, and Saba Azad. If the buzz is anything to go by, this one is going to be a wild ride.
But that’s not all. Bobby is also part of Alpha, starring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari. And for all the spy thriller lovers out there, he will be seen in the Amazon Prime Video series Teen Kauwe alongside Sidhant Gupta. Clearly, Bobby is on a roll and not slowing down anytime soon.
From keeping his bold role a secret to becoming one of the most talked-about actors in the OTT space, Bobby Deol’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. And through it all, Tanya Deol remains his biggest cheerleader. Now that’s what we call a power couple.
