Bobby Deol admits to making poor career choices and struggling in evolving Bollywood landscape: 'Many roles meant for me went to others'

Bobby Deol is preparing for the release of 'Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3' Part 2. In a recent interview, he spoke about a tough phase in his career, admitting that he found it hard to keep up with industry changes. He revealed that many roles meant for him went to others as the system evolved.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Bobby Deol spoke about the phase when his career slowed down. He acknowledged that just wishing for success wasn’t enough—one had to put in the effort to achieve it.
Bobby shared that even after achieving success, he remained grounded and believed there was space for everyone in the industry. However, he admitted that he hadn’t fully grasped how competitive the industry had become during that period.
He reflected on his journey in the film industry, acknowledging that being the son of Dharmendra and the brother of Sunny Deol had shielded him from the industry's networking culture. Unlike others, he never actively sought roles, which led to missed opportunities as the system evolved. He admitted to making some poor career choices and struggling to adapt to the changing landscape of Bollywood.
The actor shared that he initially hesitated to actively seek roles but later realized the importance of approaching filmmakers and expressing his willingness to work. He embraced this change, acknowledging that there was no shame in doing so.
Meanwhile, 'Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3' Part 2 promises an intense storyline where justice prevails as Baba is sent to prison. Pammi reclaims her place in the Aashram, while Bhopa Swami takes over as the new leader, leading to a fresh chapter filled with betrayal, revenge, and redemption.
The series boasts a stellar cast, including Bobby Deol, Tridha Choudhury, Aaditi Pohankar, Darshan Kumaar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Sachin Shroff, Anurita Jha, and Rajeev Siddhartha.
Directed by Prakash Jha, Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 Part 2 is set to premiere on February 26, 2025.
