Actor Bobby Deol has recalled an incident that took place several years ago when one of his female fans held him for nearly three minutes and wouldn’t leave him. In a new interview, Bobby said that though he wondered how to get out of the situation, he didn’t push her. Recalling the early days of his career, Bobby said that he was a shy person then and used to get embarrassed when fans would shower love on him Bobby made his debut as an adult with Barsaat opposite Twinkle Khanna for which he received the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. He went on to feature in Gupt and Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, Soldier and Kareeb, Badal and Bichhoo, Ajnabee, Humraaz and Yamla Pagla Deewana. In recent years, he starred in Class of ’83 and Aashram. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Bobby said, “I’m a very shy person and those days I was really more shy because I was very young so I used to get embarrassed. I used to feel nice that all my fans are reacting to me that way but it would be embarrassing. But it’s not their fault because as a fan myself when I liked some actor or I liked some cricketer I would be so excited to meet that person. So I understand that excitement.” Bobby spoke about an incident, “I remember once I went for some premiere in Pune and this one woman just caught me and wouldn’t leave me. I was like how do I get out of here, phas gaya tha main. But I couldn’t even push her, I didn’t know what to do I was just she caught me for two-three minutes and I was stuck over there. These kind of things, I think, happens to all the actors when they start their careers.” The actor was last seen in Love Hostel alongside Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey. He will be next seen in season three of filmmaker Prakash Jha directed series Aashram. It will release on June 3 on MX Player. The show features Bobby in the lead role of Baba Nirala. It also stars Aaditi Pohankar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Darshan Kumaar, Anupria Goenka, Adhyayan Suman, Esha Gupta and Tridha Choudhury.
