Bobby Deol on career slump: ‘Started pitying myself, turned to alcohol’
Actor Bobby Deol, who will soon be seen in Netflix’s Class of 83, has spoken about turning to alcohol when his career went through a slump.
He said that every actor, even those of the stature of Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan, have their own share of struggles, but it is their never-say-die attitude that pulls them through.
Offering his take on the ongoing insider-outsider debate in the film industry, he said, “There’s no such thing as backing in the industry. Just because my family is from the industry does not mean they have backed me when it comes to work. If that was the case, I would have starred in big films all along. Of course I am very blessed to be Dharmendra’s son, but I only worked with him in the first film, after that, all the offers that I received or all the films that I did were on the basis of my performances.”

Class of 83 is a period police drama produced by Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies Entertainment for Netflix. The film is slated for release on Friday. Bobby will appear in another streaming project -- MX Player’s Ashram -- in the week after that.
