Earlier, in an interview with the Film Companion, Bobby Deol had shared an anecdote and had mentioned how his father, Dharmendra used to say that he would not work after turning 70 years old, but is working till his 80s. The proud son had revealed that his daddy has been his biggest inspiration and the only reason he had not given up on life. Bobby could be quoted as saying:
“The other day, he was telling me, ‘Beta, main sochta tha ki 70 ki age tak main kaam karunga. Shayad uske baad kaam nahi mile, ya kaam nahi kar paunga. Aur aaj main 86 ka ho gaya hoon aur phir bhi kaam kar raha hoon. It was the most awesome feeling I got when he said that to me, and that’s exactly what inspires me. I want to work till the last breath I take, because that’s what we are, we’re actors, we want to keep working. He was there in my family, the biggest inspiration, and I didn’t even see him when I had given up in life."
Here’s wishing a speedy recovery to Dharmendra.
