After the passing of veteran actor Dharmendra last year, the Deol family has been navigating one of the most emotional phases of their lives. While fans continue to remember the legendary star for his remarkable contribution to Indian cinema, his son Bobby Deol has now opened up about coping with the loss and the challenges his family faced during Dharmendra’s final years.
In a recent interview, Bobby admitted that losing a parent is never easy, regardless of age or circumstance. He shared that life often presents situations for which no one can truly prepare, and dealing with the absence of a loved one is one of them. Despite the pain, Bobby said he continues to feel his father’s presence around him and believes Dharmendra’s blessings and energy are still guiding him.
The actor revealed that he draws strength from the memories of his father and often feels as though Dharmendra is watching over him. According to Bobby, this feeling motivates him to work harder and continue making his family proud. He described the loss as difficult but said every individual has to find their own way of coping with grief.
Bobby also addressed the viral incident involving his brother Sunny Deol, who had lashed out at paparazzi while Dharmendra was dealing with health issues. At the time, the family was frequently surrounded by photographers outside hospitals and private locations, leading to frustration and emotional stress.
Defending Sunny’s reaction, Bobby said people often fail to understand the pain and emotional turmoil families go through during such difficult moments. He explained that the issue extends beyond celebrities and affects ordinary people as well. In today’s social media-driven world, many individuals are quick to record videos and share them online without considering the emotions of those involved.
According to Bobby, the constant urge to capture content for social media can sometimes overshadow empathy and basic human sensitivity. He stressed that people should be more mindful of what families are experiencing before turning personal tragedies into viral moments.
While speaking about the situation, Bobby avoided dwelling too much on the painful memories but expressed hope that society would become more compassionate. He believes that once people begin to understand the emotional impact of such situations, they may think twice before invading someone’s privacy during moments of grief.
On the professional front, Bobby Deol is currently enjoying a successful phase in his career. After earning praise for his recent performances, he is now gearing up for the release of Alpha, the upcoming action thriller from Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe. The film stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari in leading roles and is expected to be one of the year’s biggest releases.
Even as he moves forward with work, Bobby’s heartfelt words serve as a reminder that behind the glamour of stardom are families dealing with the same emotions, struggles, and losses that everyone experiences.
