He is the eldest son of veteran actor, Dharmendra, and his first wife, Prakash Kaur. Bollywood actor, Bobby Deol, is his younger brother.

Bobby Deol was a treat to watch when he walks to the tunes of the title song in the Hindi film “Soldier”. With his long hair, dimpled smile and a tousled look he was quite a heartthrob among the young girls. Born on January 27 1969 to a Punjabi family Bobby Deol is born to yesteryear superstar Dharmendra. His sibling is Bollywood actor Sunny Deol. Thriller films are Bobby Deol’s forte and he also played the negative character who is the prisoner of circumstances. His hit list includes Barsaat, Soldier, Gupt, Badal, Dostana, Humraaz, Badal, Bicchoo, Ajnabi etc. The film Gupt skyrocketed his career; his role in the film was very much appreciated.

Though he proved his mettle in thriller films Bobby was not so successful in the genre of romance.

Nowadays, his father Dharmendra’s home productions are the only outlet to express Bobby’s acting skills. Thankfully Bobby didn’t rely only on films and now he owns a restaurant of his own in Mumbai.
