Bobby Deol Talks About His Past Struggles After Winning IIFA For Animal: 'There Comes A Day…'
Bobby Deol reinstated himself as one of the most prolific actors in the industry after he nailed his performance in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal. The actor played the role of Abrar Haque in the movie and went on to win the 2024 IIFA Award for Performance in a Negative Role. At the event, he opened up about portraying negative roles.
Speaking to the media, Bobby Deol talked about playing negative roles. He was asked if he felt that the industry was banking on his villainous roles. The actor said “Aisa kuch nahin hota hain. Kya hain jab se maine industry join ki hain, toh yahan aap jis tarah ke roles karte hain, aapko uss hi tarah ke roles milte hain (There’s nothing like that. When I joined the industry, I got the same type of roles which I did in my films).”

Deol mentioned how changed his image and how that was a difficult journey for him. He continued, “It’s been happening since before, not just now. It’s always going to be like that. It took me a tough time to change my image, and finally, I’ve changed my image and done characters that are very different.”
The actor also spoke about how he struggled to find success in Bollywood. He mentioned that if actors work hard, they will surely get acknowledgment for their work. He added, “I just think that hard days are part of life. I don’t look at them and feel, oh my God, I went through that period. I don’t know. I can’t speak about that film because I really can’t right now at this moment. It’s a journey, and every person goes through it. If you work hard, there comes a day when you get some kind of acknowledgment.”
Deol attended the 2024 IIFA Award with his wife, Tanya. He thanked the audience for the love showered on him for his role in Animal and he fought back tears as he gave the speech. He also performed the Jamal Kudu step on the stage. The 2024 IIFA Awards will conclude on September 29 with a live performance by artists such as Honey Singh and Shilpa Rao among others.
