Bobby Deol recently spoke about his school days, his first crush, and a memorable attempt to impress a girl by donating blood. In a recent interview, the actor shared candid anecdotes from his younger years, revealing a shy side that fans rarely see.
“My friend ended up trying his luck with the girl I liked.”
Remembering his first crush during school, Bobby admitted that he was too shy to talk to the girl himself.“I liked a girl, but I couldn’t talk to her,” Bobby told Amar Ujala, laughing. “So I asked a friend of mine, who was talking to everyone, to go and say hello for me. He went and talked to her, but in the end he started trying his luck with her himself.”The actor revealed that the incident occurred when he was in ninth grade.
Despite the incident, he said the friend remains one of his closest companions today.He added: “This friend is still a very good friend of mine. Most of my old friends are still with me.”
A blood donation plan that didn’t work
Bobby also shared another amusing story from his college days involving a girl he was in love with. He recalled how the girl approached students in a library to get blood donors for her sick father.“Her father was very ill and she came to ask if anyone could donate blood.
I immediately said: Yes, I will come. “I thought maybe something good would come of it,” he joked.However, things did not go according to plan. Bobby remembered watching others donate blood and became nervous after seeing the large needles.He said: “I was sitting there and watching people donate blood. The needle seemed huge and I felt afraid. When it was my turn, they checked my blood pressure and it was high. They told me that I could not donate blood.”Although he failed to donate, Bobby laughed that he at least attended.“I said to myself: At least I came. The impression I wanted to create, I created.”
Shy boy behind the star
The ‘Animal’ actor said he was a very shy child who never enjoyed school and rarely got into mischief.“I was very quiet,” he said. “I didn’t really like going to school. I wasn’t the kind of kid who played pranks or got into trouble.”
