Dharmendra On Bobby Deol's Drinking: 'Main Usse Zyada Karta Tha, Kabhi Sutta, Kabhi...'

Bobby Deol recently appeared on Karan Johar’s popular chat show Koffee With Karan 8 with his brother Sunny Deol. To make their time on the show more special, Dharmendra sent a video message to his sons. The heartfelt message not only left the audience bawling but also had Sunny and Bobby in tears. In his message, he said that Bobby Deol hides things from him and also revealed why he could not ask Bobby to stop drinking.

On the show, Bobby Deol revealed that when he didn’t have work in Bollywood, he went through a low phase in life and took on drinking a lot. In his message, Dharmendra said that he could not ask Bobby to quit drinking since he would do it himself earlier.

About Bobby, he said, “Bobby sabka laadla tha. Hamesha chota bachha jo hai na, usse har koi pyaar karta hai. Par woh kehta hai ke aap Sunny ko zyada pyaar karte they aur mujhe nahi. Hala ki I love him. We all loved him the most (Bobby was beloved by everybody because he was the youngest. He would always complain that I loved Sunny more, but that isn’t true).”

He continued, “Both are very emotional. Bobby kuch baatein chhupa jaata hai, Sunny ka pata chal jaata hai. Bobby thoda sa chalu hai, batata nahi. Main usse kai zyada karta tha, kabhi sutta, kabhi (drink). I can’t tell him to not drink, because I used to do it myself, but I still say it (Bobby hides things from me, Sunny is easier to read. But Bobby doesn’t know that I was much worse when I was his age, I’d smoke, I’d drink, but he hides it from me).”

Meanwhile, about Sunny, Dharmendra said, “The veteran actor said, “Har bachcha, kaisa bhi ho, baap ke saamne bheegi billi ban jaata hai, aur baap se door hote hi sher ban jaata hai (Every child, regardless of how he is, becomes meek in front of their father. And the moment they’re alone, they transform into tigers).” “Sunny ke andar ek bachcha hai jo samajhdaar hogaya hai, lekin usse aur samajhdaar hona chahiye (Sunny is an intelligent boy, but he could be more level-headed sometimes).” Dharmendra also called his oldest son a fighter.
