“In my low phase, when I hit the bottle, little did I know that I’d drown in alcohol… I was torturing myself, and my family was worried. But the last straw was the thought of my kids—what kind of father was I being to them as an alcoholic? Something just snapped within me and I was like, no I need to get out of this!”

A role with zero dialogue and just 25 minutes of screen presence stole the thunder! And that’s the man of the hour – Bobby Deol. The ANIMAL the nation is talking about. He is the classic example of ‘once a star, always a star.’ Bobby Deol has gone through a star’s worst nightmare – from being forgotten to seeing stardom fade away. But his determination to overcome all the obstacles gave him a comeback that no star would ever experience. As scary as his onscreen roles are, he is an absolute gem offscreen.

In this episode, Bobby Deol opens his heart out to the audience. Speaking about his alcoholism phase, his family, his wife and kids, how he dealt with having no work, and how he soared high, in spite of it all.

Inspiring and heartfelt at the same time, this is something you simply cannot miss! So join us as we uncover the human behind Bobby Deol, and try to figure out, ‘How The Hell Did He Do It?’

About Humans of Bombay –
Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 10 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres – stories of love, hope, faith, and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 6M!

Our idea is simple – to strike a chord with our community and catalog the beat of humanity, one story at a time.
