Bobby Deol is now making waves in the industry ever since the sensation he created with Ranbir Kapoor-Sandeep Vanga's Animal. He went on to star in Suriya's Kanguva and Balakrishna's Daaku Maharaj. He is starring in Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu and also has projects like Alpha and Vijay's Jana Nayagan.
Speaking to scribes, Bobby Deol spoke about his low phase and how he asked for offers during that time. He said "I mean desperate definitely, but I think it's part of an actor’s journey and it hasn't been just mine. I think every actor goes through that journey, and that’s part and parcel of this profession, as nothing stays forever. But one must never give up hope and keep trying. I always encourage everyone that they also need to stay disciplined and respect their work; be focused and manifest."
He continued "It's not like baithe baithe sab mil jayega, one must work hard (You won't get things by not trying). And with hard work, even if it seems far, you would be getting closer to your goal. Desperation does bring negativity, but you go through that and come out. There is no one to help you swim through it. When you realise that, the journey becomes easier."
He added "Pehle zamana alag tha, jab shuruat ki thi toh aisa nahi tha, pehle log khud aate the (It was different when I started out, as people would offer me work by themselves). Then the population of actors increased, it's sad that we forget that there are so many people coming in, and will continue to,"
He added that he was never hesitant to ask for work. He revealed "However, I did that too (ask for work). When I was going through a bad phase, maine logo ke darwaze khatkhataye hain and bola hai ki main Bobby Deol hoon aur mujhe kaam dijiiye (I have knocked on doors and told them I am Bobby Deol, and please give me work). I don't think there is anything wrong in that, as you need work. At least they will remember that Bobby Deol had come to meet me. This also gets translated to work sometimes. So, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
He concluded "Honestly, you never know when you'd make the mistakes again; you only work on yourself on becoming better at making them. Mistakes teach you a lot, and you cannot not make mistakes, no one is perfect. There are times when people ask me what I would tell the young Bobby. Arey main kya bolu usko, wo thodi na samjhega jo main bol raha hoon usko (what do I say, he wouldn't understand at that age what I am trying to tell him). You just have to learn with experience and life does teach you a lot,"
