Is this the reason behind Bobby Deol's salt-and-pepper facial fuzz?

Bobby Deol

Bobby Deol was spotted at Mumbai airport on his way to Bhopal for the shoot of Love Hostel. Looks like his salt-and-pepper facial fuzz is for Shanker Raman's crime thriller, co-starring Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey. The mercury has been rising and Deol sported a cool summer look in a sleeveless T-shirt.

The actor says that it took him some time to accept the fact that he would have to settle for roles lesser than the lead. "I used to be a big star once upon a time but things didn't work out. My market value went down. I went through a phase where I couldn't understand why this happened and I started giving up," Bobby told IANS.

The actor adds that it was when his kids wondered why he was at home, did he realise that it was time to get back to work. "When I saw my kids noticing me sitting at home, it dawned on me that I am an actor and my job is to perform and play characters, and not just the main lead. As an actor, I realised that I needed to prove myself and that's how I started looking at things," he said.

"This is why I am getting so much work now. People have appreciated my hard work and have seen that I have the capability of doing different roles," said the actor.

He seems to have made a good-enough comeback. His role as the vile Baba Nirala in Prakash Jha's web series last year Aashram has been appreciated, and he is set to return next year. He has lately been seeing a regular flow of releases, too.

Today, Bobby is on the lookout for roles that help him explore his acting abilities. "I put myself outside my comfort zone when I look for roles. I want to do roles that question the uncertainty and non-belief that one has in oneself. I want to the kind of roles that when people offer them to me and I also go like, 'I don't see myself doing this! Do they really want me to do that?'," he sums up.
