Everyone has their opinions; You cannot stop them from voicing their opinions. But, if you see the success of the show, it just proves that there was nothing really wrong in the show.”
Speaking about the success of the show, Bobby Deol further told the portal, “I am actually surprised to see such an overwhelming response. When I did this role, I was nervous because I had never played a negative character and my image has always been very positive. So, I was little worried as you know image gets struck and you get typecast. Initially, I also thought my fans might not accept me but then I have come to a point in my career where I want to do challenging roles, I want to take up the roles out of my comfort zone.”
“When I got this opportunity like this an interesting character, I wanted to do it because I never thought someone can offer me a role like this. The Best compliment I ever got was when my mother’s friend called and said Apke bête ne itna negative role kiya hai par phir bi hume bhut pyara lag reha hai.” I am very happy that people have accepted despite playing such a negative character. I hope now I get to do more different and challenging roles,” said Bobby Deol further.
Aashram 3 is about a megalomaniac baba, who believes he’s God played by Bobby Deol. However, his Aashram exploits women and trades in drugs. The 4th season of the show is expected to go on the floors soon.
