Bobby Deol Earns Praise from Vivek Oberoi for The Bads of Bollywood Performance, Recalls 1997 Set Memory

In a touching moment of nostalgia and admiration, actor Vivek Anand Oberoi took to his X (formerly Twitter) profile to share a selfie with Bobby Deol, accompanied by a heartfelt message that blends personal memory with public praise. The two actors recently crossed paths on a flight, prompting Oberoi to reflect on their first meeting nearly 28 years ago and to commend Deol’s recent standout performance in the Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood.

 

Oberoi’s post begins with a playful nod to Deol’s growing fandom, referring to him as “Lord Bobby” and by his new on-screen alter ego, “Ajay Talwar.” This character, a shrewd and morally ambiguous film producer, is central to the satirical series directed by Aryan Khan and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment. The show offers a bold, stylized look at Bollywood’s underbelly and has been generating buzz for both its storytelling and its cast.

 

“Bumping into you on the flight took me straight back to 1997 visiting Dad on the set of Soldier,” Oberoi recalled, referencing his father Suresh Oberoi’s work on the film. “I still remember how graciously you invited me into your trailer and took such good care of me all day.” He praised Deol’s character consistency over the decades, highlighting the actor’s humility even amidst his recent resurgence in the spotlight.

 

The Bads of Bollywood marks another career milestone for Deol, who has recently earned acclaim for his intense roles in Aashram and Animal. In this latest project, his portrayal of Ajay Talwar has drawn attention for its layered complexity—an embodiment of ambition, ego, and vulnerability within the film industry.

 

“After binging The Bads of Bollywood, I have to say, you absolutely killed it as Ajay Talwar,” Oberoi added. “I loved every nuance of such a complex character.” He also gave kudos to the entire cast and crew, expressing anticipation for Deol’s future projects.

 

The actor’s message serves as both a tribute and a full-circle moment—celebrating not just a strong performance, but a lasting personal connection within the often transient world of showbiz. It’s a reminder that while the industry can be cutthroat, camaraderie and mutual respect still hold space.
