Bobby Deol is enjoying one of the most celebrated phases of his career, and the actor believes the credit goes to two key forces — debutant director Aryan Khan and the rise of OTT. Currently winning over audiences with Netflix’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Bobby said that the series marks a defining chapter in his professional journey.
Bobby Deol credits Aryan Khan for The Ba***ds of Bollywood success, says OTT “gave me a second chance”
In an exclusive conversation with Times Now, Bobby Deol showered praise on Aryan Khan’s calm and composed approach to direction. “If The Ba***ds of Bollywood is successful and loved, it’s because of Aryan Khan,” said Bobby. “He’s exceptionally composed and attentive. His understanding of every character and his ability to listen to actors make him unique.”
The actor revealed that he signed the project before even hearing the full script. “I know the pressure of being Shah Rukh’s son and taking up direction — I wanted to support him. But Aryan insisted on narrating the story himself. After a seven-hour narration, I was blown away by his passion, humor, and conviction,” Bobby shared.
Bobby also spoke about Aryan’s commitment to his craft on set. “On set, Aryan never lost his cool. He made us do multiple takes until he got what he wanted, yet always maintained his composure. That level of patience and clarity is rare.”
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, The Ba***ds of Bollywood is a dark, gritty satire that explores the power games and moral compromises behind the glamour of the Hindi film industry. The show has received widespread acclaim for its storytelling, strong performances, and Aryan Khan’s mature directorial debut.
Reflecting on his revival, Bobby credited streaming platforms for offering him fresh opportunities. “OTT has changed my life. Class of ’83 and Aashram helped me explore roles I’d never done before. It gave me a second chance,” he said. “When my brother Sunny watched Class of ’83, he had tears in his eyes. That meant everything to me. I feel like I’ve just started again.”
With The Ba***ds of Bollywood emerging as a major hit, Bobby Deol’s resurgence underscores how reinvention and adaptability continue to define his lasting appeal in cinema.
