Bobby Deol: Failure, Alcohol, Trolls, Bollywood Comeback & SRK | FO413 Raj Shamani
Raj Shamani Figuring Out episode, in Hindi, in which Raj talks with actor Bobby Deol about losing stardom and earning it back. Bobby is blunt about the fall: his films stopped working, work stopped coming, roles meant for him were snatched away by other actors, and alcohol was his only support system at that point. He traces part of it to never having seen hardship early - growing up in a family where every member was already a star - and describes the five or six years when his heart was broken and people made fun of him even at parties. The comeback, back-to-back hits after years of silence and rejection, gets equal time: what self-doubt and embarrassment taught him, and the qualities he says nobody has like his father. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this summary highlights the fall-and-comeback lessons; film anecdotes and family segments are not covered. These are Bobby's own views and experiences, not independently verified. No sponsor read was named in the episode.
