Bollywood actor Bobby Deol who is gearing up got the release of his
upcoming film "Race 3", says that the love and support of people matters to him
more than critical acclaim and film awards.
The actor who was present on
Tuesday at an IIFA press conference here, was asked about his perception towards
parallel cinema that gives an actor more awards and acclaims than mainstream
Bollywood.
Bobby replied: " I consider my father (Dharmendra) as one of
the most iconic and talented actors of our country, who has been never given a
best actor award. He received lot of love and appreciation from his fans and
that is happening with my fans as well. so it does not matter. I am here because
the people love me and wish to see me."
Bobby will be performing at the
IIFA this month after seven years.
Asked if he was nervous, the "Soldier"
actor said: "No, not really. I do not feel nervous. I have nothing to lose, I
lost out on a few years of not working and performing, so now I just want to do
it."
Regarding reports that Salman Khan was planning to produce Bobby's
next film, he said: "Salman came into my life like an angel. He is the most
awesome human being I ever met in my life. He is not doing it as a favour, but
he is doing because he sees a fire in me."
The 19th edition of IIFA which
is taking place in Bangkok from June 22 to 24, will have a heavy dose of
entertainment that includes a live performance by legendary actress Rekha after
20 years.
