In an interview with a leading entertainment portal, Bobby Deol explained his take on nepotism in the industry. He said that he thinks its just a new word that has gained popularity. He also said that everybody is a complainer and everybody likes to complain when they don’t get any work and as a result of that people end up finding reasons for not getting work.

He further added that people who are not getting work are in the majority; that is why people talk about nepotism. He said that he did not have any work for so many years, but he never cried about it.

Bobby’s career went in downwards direction after the early 2000s. He has admitted that he made some questionable choices of films during that time. Salman Khan gave him a new beginning by landing him a pivotal role in Remo D’Souza’s Race 3, that released in 2018.
