Bobby Deol on anti-hero character in Aashram
During the trailer launch event of Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 Part 2, Bobby Deol recalled feeling hesitant to tell his father Dharmendra and brother Sunny Deol about his anti-hero character in the crime-thriller series. He also added that this role came to him when he knew he would not be offered hero roles anymore.
Bobby shared, "As actors, we want to portray characters that are different from us in real life. I was actively seeking out diverse roles when Aashram came my way. I knew I wouldn't be offered hero roles anymore, which is why I didn’t even tell my family about accepting this show. I wanted them to see it first and then react."
The actor added that the subject of Aashram was such that if he had told his parents or his brother (Sunny Deol), they would have questioned him, saying, 'Why are you doing this?"
However, he trusted his wife, who was aware of the struggle to find a compelling role. "She told me, 'Follow your heart. I’m with you,'" he recalled.
