Bobby Deol has been winning hearts with his performances and the actor has reinvented himself ever since the release of Aashram. The actor has received the moniker Lord Bobby owing to his exceptional acting chops and hot looks. The actor once again made waves with his performance in the new blockbuster film Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor. However, his family seems to be on edge in regards to their reaction after watching the film.
In a recent interview, Bobby said that his father, Dharmendra, and his elder brother, Sunny Deol, haven’t seen the film yet. But he pointed out that his mother was conflicted about the hyper-violent movie, in which he plays the main antagonist.

Speaking to Pinkvilla, Bobby said that just like he couldn’t bear to watch Dharmendra’s character die in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, his mother couldn’t bear to watch his antagonist character perish in Animal.
Bobby said, “My mom couldn’t handle my death scene. She was like, ‘Aisi film mat kiya kar tu, mujhse nahi dekha jaata (You shouldn’t do films like this, I can’t watch them).” I told her, ‘Look, I’m standing in front of you, I just played a part’. But she’s very happy… The amount of phone calls she’s getting, all her friends want to meet me. Something similar happened when Aashram released.”
In another interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bobby spoke about his family’s reaction to the film. “My dad and my brother haven’t seen it, but everybody else has. They’re feeling exactly like the audience is reacting to me. They’re naturally biased, but they’ve always believed in me as an actor and they were waiting for the right film to come my way,” he said.
When asked how his wife and sons reacted to his villainous performance, he said, “My kids and my wife, I can only see happiness in their eyes. This is the first time I’ve noticed how I affect them as a father. With them, if I was happy I’d be happy, if I was sad I’d be sad, if I was angry I’d be angry… They think I’ve always deserved it, and they’ve seen my failures, and now they’re seeing my success.” ALSO READ | Animal: Bobby Deol Gets INSANE Physical Transformation For Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Film In Just Four Months, Know About His Diet Plan, Workout Routine And More
