After making his 'tough' presence felt in 'Class Of 83', Bobby is now excited about the veteran director Prakash Jha's endeavour 'Aashram'. The 51-year-old plays the conman in the garb of a spiritual leader in this web series.
In his exclusive conversation with LatestLY, we quizzed Bobby on his take on the nepotism debate that has been raging for quite some time now,.Bobby maintained that he has faced his share of challenges and hurdles in the industry. "I am an insider (of the film industry,) but my father was an outside once upon a time. He ran away from home, struggled for many years to become an actor and finally he achieved what he wanted. He is a legend in the industry. I believe the hard work one puts in never goes waste. Many people believe that they are not lucky (to succeed in Bollywood) even I believed that for a couple of years in my life. I would get upset, blame others and indulge in self pity." says Bobby.

" I think you should believe in yourself. You have to have faith in what you want to achieve and have a positive outlook towards life. I was in the right direction but I lost my track and I would always be dependent on something that would pacify me and help me calm down. I think pain, failure and misery can teach you much more than success and fame. In the end, I think one should not give up at all, no matter what!" stresses the 'Soldier' actor.
