Bobby Deol is an Indian actor. After appearing as a child artist in Dharam Veer (1977), Deol had his first lead role in the superhit romance Barsaat (1995) that won him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. He established himself as a lead with the top-grossing films Gupt (1997), Soldier (1998), Badal (2000), Bichhoo (2000), Ajnabee (2001), and Humraaz (2002). It was followed by a brief career downturn, during which his only rarely successful films include multi starrers like Apne (2007), Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011), Race 3 (2018) and Housefull 4 (2019). He reinforced his critical success with acclaimed performances in digital ventures Class of '83 (2020), Aashram (2020–present), and had a supporting role in the top-grossing action film Animal (2023) and Housefull 5 (2025).[1]
