Bobby Deol (Vijay Singh Deol) could not impress in his first film 'Barsaat'. But assets in the form of good looks and a good deal of patience slowly led him to the path of success. He waited for time to pass and refused dozens of films till Kareeb happened. Kareeb may not have created box-office records but Bobby's talent was noticed.

He has the advantage of a 'filmi' background so he didn't have to struggle too much. He just had to say that he also wanted to get into filmbiz and Dharmendra summoned all the resources at his command to make it happen. Big brother Sunny put his own career on hold to give his all to Bobby's Barsaat.

Bobby's re-birth with 'Gupt', 'Soldier' straightened box-office records for the actor. Unlike his father and brother, Bobby is not really known as action hero. He is doing more romantic roles.
