Bobby Deol Says Dharmendra’s Death Brought Him Closer To Esha, Ahana

In an interview with Esquire India, Bobby Deol spoke about losing his father, Dharmendra and how his passing has united the family. Discussing grief and how it has reshaped his priorities, he said, “There are all these days where I wish I had sat with him more. I wish I had asked him more questions… Now more than ever, I’m mindful of being with my sons, my wife and my family. The box office, the reviews, the roles… eventually they don’t matter, man. Success is measured in how much time you can afford to spend with the ones you love. What’s the point of fame and wealth when there’s no one to witness it with you? You know, I keep watching his reels on Instagram. He was so candid… so full of warmth. Sometimes it feels like he’s talking directly to me.”

He also mentioned that there is a newfound sense of maturity in his sons since his father’s passing, and wondered if “they seem more aware of the fragility of life” now. They are consciously spending more time together. Bobby added that grief has also brought him closer to Esha and Ahana Deol. “I feel we’re all dealing with it in our own ways. Sometimes you misunderstand each other because you’re hurting… everyone feels their pain is more than the other’s. But you give it time. Let it heal… Loss has its own way of bringing a family closer,” he said.
