Esha Guptal lauds Bobby Deol’s post-Animal success

Esha, when asked about her perspective on Bobby’s post-Animal fame, stated that, “I have not seen the movie. It is not the kind of movie that does anything for me. I love Bobby and I think his life changed after Aashram. I feel it was his time and a lot of credit goes to people and Prakash Sir for it. Bobby deserves it because he is hardworking and the nicest, most eloquent man that I’ve met.”

She further said, “I was on flight this morning and this guy who wanted to take picture with me only kept asking, ‘Lord Bobby…Lord Bobby…’ I said, ‘Listen, I’m going to tell Bobby this.’ He didn’t call him Bobby Deol, he called him Lord Bobby. That i the beauty of society changing and OTT. Bobby Deol was not working, then Race happened but it didn’t do anything then. But then a story like this came and his career has changed. Bobby Deol is now Lord Bobby.”
