When Bobby Deol was allegedly slapped by a bodyguard at Karan Johar’s birthday party, leaving him humiliated!

Bobby Deol was flying high in success in the 90s but started to see a decline in the late 2000s, leading to a period away from the Bollywood limelight.

Bobby Deol, the younger son of Bollywood legend Dharmendra and the younger brother of Sunny Deol, made his mark as a popular actor in the Hindi film industry during the 1990s and early 2000s. Known for his charming looks, versatility, and intense performances, Bobby debuted in Barsaat (1995), which earned him a Filmfare Award for Best Debut. Over the years, he has taken on a mix of romantic, action, and thriller roles in films like Gupt, Soldier, and Badal.

The star was flying high in success in the 90s but started to see a decline in the late 2000s, leading to a period away from the Bollywood limelight. After a series of commercially unsuccessful films, the actor found himself typecast, struggling to break free from the romantic-action hero image that had initially brought him success. Newcomers and changing trends in Bollywood added to the challenges, as did the industry’s shift toward younger actors and more unconventional stories.

Despite being away from the screen, Bobby’s fans never stopped supporting him, and his return was highly anticipated. His revival came with the hit series Aashram (2020), directed by Prakash Jha, where he played the role of a controversial godman, Baba Nirala. His portrayal in the series was widely appreciated, and it marked the beginning of his comeback.
