Bobby Deol’s recent success has brought attention not only to his current projects, like Aryan Khan’s ‘The Bads of Bollywood,’ but also to aspects of his past. Prior to his resurgence with ‘Animal,’ Deol experienced a period where his father, Dharmendra, imposed strict limitations. The actor was prohibited from leaving the house or attending social gatherings. This upbringing was discussed in a podcast where Bobby explained his father’s protective nature. He recounted that he was not permitted to go anywhere except school and home. Even learning to ride a bicycle took place within the walls of his residence.
Bobby explained that his father’s concern stemmed from a specific incident. He mentioned that during his sixth grade, a friend of his was kidnapped. Although the friend was eventually released, the event prompted Dharmendra to restrict Bobby’s movements, fearing for his safety.
