The city of Mumbai recently bore witness to a heartwarming scene involving popular Bollywood actor Bobby Deol. Celebrating the phenomenal success of his latest film entitled ‘Animal’, Deol attended the film’s glitzy success party. On his arrival, a crowd of elated fans swarmed the actor, eager to capture the moment or perhaps just a glimpse. Amongst the throng of supporters and admirers, security details struggled to maintain a clear path for the star. It was then that the actor’s humble nature surfaced; noticing his bodyguards shoving fans aside, Bobby Deol conveyed a simple yet profound request – “Dhakka mat maaro,” urging the guards to not shove his fans.
This considerate act caught the attention of the digital world, leading to an outpouring of admiration for Bobby on various social media platforms. “Calm down kaise ho aap ki acting dekhkar janta bahut zyada khush hai,” commented one netizen, highlighting the actor’s performance that left the audience beyond pleased. Another added, “Fans are all over him, lately it’s tough being a Deol,” pointing out the newfound attention grappling the Deol dynasty due to their recent accomplishments. A third remarked on the actor’s demeanor, saying, “He’s so calm and considerate.”
The soirée for ‘Animal’ was not short of splendor, with stars dotting the event’s horizon. Including Deol, the celebration was graced by the film’s ensemble cast of Ranbir Kapoor, evergreen Anil Kapoor, the charming Rashmika Mandanna, and the upcoming talent Triptii Dimri. The bash also had appearances from Saurabh Sachdeva and Siddhant Karnick, among others.
The versatile Ranbir Kapoor, who led the film with his unforgettable portrayal of the central character, made a notable entrance accompanied by his family—his wife, the equally famous Alia Bhatt, mother Neetu Kapoor, and his father-in-law Mahesh Bhatt. Ranbir was dressed to impress in a black blazer paired with a grey shirt and black trousers, while Alia Bhatt charmed all in a chic blue halter dress complemented by stylish heels.
Social media buzzed with activity, featuring various pictures and videos that gave fans a glimpse into the star-studded event. Team ‘Animal,’ in one such viral moment, is captured engaging with the media, replicating Bobby Deol’s trending finger-on-mouth pose from the film, which became an infectious gesture across fan circles.
‘Animal,’ directed by the visionary Sandeep Reddy Vanga, emerged as one of 2023’s major theatrical triumphs, amassing a box office collection of over Rs 800 crore. Despite its commercial success, the film was not without criticism as it faced scrutiny over concerns of portrayal of misogyny. The casting also included seasoned actors like Prem Chopra, Shakti Kapoor, and Suresh Oberoi. The narrative that delves deep into a turbulent father-son saga had audiences especially excited for a teased post-credit scene that suggested the potential for a sequel titled ‘Animal Park’ with Ranbir potentially assuming a double role.
Amid the excitement and praises, it’s the personal interactions like Bobby Deol’s kindness to the fans that remain etched in public memory. These moments not only showcase the star’s stardom but also reveal the humility and genuine appreciation for the love they receive—a trait that further endears them to their fans and the public at large.
