I am good.’ I think I became so negative about everything. I used to sit at home, my wife works. And suddenly I heard my son speaking ‘Mom, papa sits at home and you go to work everyday.’ And then something snapped in me and I said ‘No, I can’t.’”

Further, Bobby said that in this industry people will ''only need you when you are of use to them''.
“I have gone and met so many people and I said to myself ‘I will go and meet people and tell them I want to work with you.’ I came to you (Karan Johar) also. You still haven’t worked with me.” Karan replied, “We have done one film together.”
He continued, “In this industry, they only need you when you are of use to them and that I never understood earlier. I went and met a lot of people. Once, a producer wanted me for a film. But he said, “No, you will have to call the main star of the film and ask if it’s okay with that person to work in the movie.''
Dharmendra's message for his boys
During an hour-long episode, a pre-recorded message by the 87-year-old actor was played. In the clip, the actor talked about Bobby and Sunny, praised their achievements, and explained why he couldn't stop his sons from drinking.
“Har bachcha, kaisa bhi ho, baap ke saamne bheegi billi ban jaata hai, aur baap se door hote hi sher ban jaata hai (Every child, regardless of how he is, becomes meek in front of their father. And the moment they’re alone, they transform into tigers),” Dharmendra said, per Indian Express.
Bobby and Sunny are on cloud nine right now. After a gap of years, Sunny is basking in the blockbuster success of Gadar 2.Meanwhile, Bobby's career is also back on the track. The actor made his comeback with Salman Khan's Race 3. His role wasn't able to change the trajectory of his career, however, due to the film he started getting projects like Housefull 4, Netflix's Class of 83 and Ashram.
Bobby will next be seen in Animal co-starring Ranbir Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and others.
