Actor Bobby Deol recently reflected on the challenging phase in his career when work offers were scarce, reports UNB.
In an interview with India Today, he shared how he actively approached people for roles, emphasizing that there is no shame in seeking opportunities.
He recalled personally reaching out, introducing himself, and asking for work, despite his established surname.
Bobby noted how the industry has evolved over the years. "Things were different when I started. Back then, people approached actors with offers. However, as the number of actors increased, the competition became tougher," he explained. He acknowledged that new talent will continue to enter the industry, making opportunities more competitive.
The actor candidly shared his experience of asking for roles. "During my difficult phase, I knocked on doors and introduced myself, saying, “I am Bobby Deol, please give me work.” There is nothing wrong with that because everyone needs opportunities.
At the very least, it makes people remember you, and sometimes, that leads to work," he said. Bobby emphasized that persistence is key and that there is no reason to feel embarrassed about seeking professional opportunities.
