Bobby Deol

Vijay Singh Deol (born 27 January 1969), better known by his screen name Bobby Deol, is an Indian actor who primarily works in Hindi cinema. He has also appeared in Tamil and Telugu films. A member of the Deol family, he is the younger son of actor Dharmendra and the younger brother of actor Sunny Deol.

After appearing as a child artist in Dharam Veer (1977), Deol had his first lead role in the romance Barsaat (1995), which won him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. He subsequently starred in the commercially successful action thrillers Gupt (1997), Soldier (1998), Badal (2000), Bichhoo (2000), Ajnabee (2001), and Humraaz (2002). For Humraaz, he received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

This was followed by a career downturn, during which his notable commercial successes were the ensemble films Apne (2007), Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011), Race 3 (2018), and Housefull 4 (2019).

In the 2020s, Deol found renewed success with the streaming projects Class of '83 (2020), Aashram (2020–present), Love Hostel (2022) and The Ba***ds of Bollywood (2025). He gained further acclaim for playing a villain in the top-grossing action film Animal (2023), which earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor.
