Talking about their journey so far, Bobby said, “My sons are very hardworking. Both of my boys are dedicated. They’re working hard, assisting directors and photographers, and they’re learning and understanding.”
It is clear that while Bobby has always been a protective father, he also understands the importance of letting his sons find their own path. He shared how his perspective on their education and careers evolved over time.
“I used to think that I wanted my kids to study, and I would tell them to focus on their education. I’m not saying they shouldn’t pursue acting. I never stopped them from being actors if that’s what they want. I just wanted them to learn, to understand things better. It’s not just about studying because I said so; it’s about growing their understanding, which will help them later.”

And now, both Aryaman and Dharam are gearing up to make their debut in Bollywood. Bobby could not hide his excitement but kept it real when it came to the challenges they will face.
“Both my boys, Aryaman and Dharam, will be coming into the industry. Both of them want to be actors, and they’re going to have to work hard to become good ones. When people are new, they have a lot of fans who are all about them. But when their work isn’t good, people forget them. Stardom is just a phase at the beginning. I want my sons to really put in the effort to be accepted as actors, not just be seen as stars.”
It is refreshing to see a star like Bobby Deol talk about hard work and humility in an industry often dazzled by glamour. He is clearly rooting for his boys but knows that at the end of the day, it is their dedication and talent that will decide how far they go.
With Bobby’s honest guidance and their own passion, it will be exciting to see what Aryaman and Dharam bring to the big screen!
