‘Dil Bechara’ actor, Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely demise has brought dark sides of Bollywood under the spotlight. The debate on ‘nepotism’ and ‘movie mafia culture’ has been making headlines of late. Speaking about the insider vs outside debate, ‘The Class Of 83’ actor, Bobby Deol says that he is an insider and he is still struggling.
In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Bobby spilled the beans about its like for him to be born in a filmy background. He said, “I think it exists in every profession, not just movie business. It has been there always. I think it is not the fault of the kids who grew up in a family who were in the same business. They did not choose to be born in the family. Then every parent’s duty is to bring their child up in the right way, educate them and then when a profession they choose, support them. Sometimes, a doctor’s son would want to be a doctor, or his father would want him to be a doctor, similarly an actor’s son might want to be an actor. I feel struggles and opportunities come equally to everyone. Yes, definitely, if you are from the movie business, the first movie is easier to get but that doesn’t mean that the one movie would make your career. No. Eventually, it is your work which will speak for you and if you are good, people will want to work with you and that’s how my career was built.”
Further he went on to explain that he was a Deol when he was launched, however, he had his own identity as Bobby. He says that even though he is an insider, he is still struggling. “I am not saying it is easier or not easier for insider or outsider, I think it is just that the population is so much and people trying for different profession that is is difficult to get man opportunities. It is also the luck that comes into factor. Not everyone gets a chance to play cricket,” said the actor.
On the work fronts, Bobby Deol will be next seen in the web series, ‘Aashram’ which will be released on MX Player on August 28th.
