In a recent chat with Esquire India, Bobby Deol spoke openly about his father’s death in November last year. He shared that, along with sadness, he also feels regret. He wishes he had spent more time talking to his father and understanding him better.
This loss has also changed his relationship with his family. Bobby revealed that it has brought him closer to his sisters, Esha Deol and Ahana Deol. Going through such a tough time together has helped them understand each other better. They may have always been family, but now their bond feels deeper.
Talking about his father, Bobby also shared a touching memory. He recalled how Dharmendra would sometimes talk about his own regrets. The veteran actor would mention that he wished he had spent more time with his father, Kewal Kishan Singh Deol. Hearing this made Bobby realize that such emotions are passed down from one generation to another. He described it as a cycle of life in which love and regret often go hand in hand.
Dharmendra, known as Bollywood’s ‘He-Man’, had a long and successful career, starring in over 300 films.
This loss has also changed Bobby’s priorities. He said that spending time with his family matters the most now. Being with his wife and children has become his biggest focus. He feels that success, money, and fame are not as important if you don’t have your loved ones around you.
In his words, real success is about being with the people you love. He questioned the value of fame if there is no one to share it with. This shows how deeply his father’s passing has affected him.
Dharmendra passed away in Mumbai on November 24 at the age of 89. His death marked the end of an era in Indian cinema. But for Bobby Deol, it is not about the legacy or fame. It is about memories, missed moments, and lessons he will carry for life.
Through this difficult time, Bobby is learning to hold his family closer and value every moment with them.
