Quoted by BollywoodShaadis, the Aashram actor said, “When I was doing this film and when I was told the story, I didn’t think I was a villain.

The Deols are such emotional people. But we will do anything for each other. I am 54. I have seen so much in my life. I have felt pain and I have felt happiness. The pain can really drive you nuts.” ALSO READ: Animal's OTT Version Might Not Feature Ranbir Kapoor-Bobby Deol's Kissing Scene, Here's Why!
