Talking about Salman Khan, Bobby told ETimes, "Salman is an amazing human being, he is a very big-hearted person. It's not just for me, when he really cares about someone, he goes all out to be there for them. I'm just lucky that I'm one of those few people that he has so much love for. And it's thanks to him that I started working out. I never used to work out even though my brother and my dad used to be working out all the time."

He added that the opportunity in Race 3 was, " the beginning of a lot of things for me and my career. A lot of people saw me after a long time." Notably, Bobby played the antagonist in the 2018 film Race 3. Apart from Bobby and Salman, the film also starred Anil Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem.

In recent years, Bobby Deol starred in the Netflix film Class Of '83 and the ZEE5 film Love Hostel. He has also garnered a lot of love from fans since the release of the web series Aashram. The show is set to return for a season 3 in 2022.
