In these heady times, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/bobby-deol-birthday-quiz-dj-movies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bobby Deol<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a new entrant to the roster of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/bollywood-struggler-lokhandwala-extras-actors\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bollywood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> heroes, was blissfully riding the angsty bad boy wave after the success of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gupt<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Despite the film featuring two badass women leads, Deol cemented his presence on the back of a potent thirst trap that included incredibly sexy <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m4hNrWLyETU\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">black shirts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a cigarette permanently perched on his lips.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helped that this Diet Coke version of the Deols had a chiselled face, rugged charm, and dimples that made Bollywood directors go weak in their knees, prompting them to offer him only lead roles without a box-office compatibility test. In the three years that the younger Deol had been in the industry, he had shouldered two duds, or in star-sperm parlance, had been \u201cwarming up\u201d. The star kid is usually rewarded by being gifted a \u201cFilmfare Best Debut Award\u201d and offered five more films as \u201cmotivation\u201d. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But often, in focusing on these progressive traditions, what gets invalidated are the various obstacles that are present on the seemingly traffic-free path of these star kids. Deol\u2019s lineage guaranteed that his future would perennially be fucked over. For one, there was the illustrious family reputation that his father had painfully carved bellowing threats like \u201cKutte, main tera khoon pee jaunga\u201d. And then there was elder brother Sunny obsessed with his \u201cdhai kilo ka haath\u201d and uprooting every handpump ever. There was no way that Bobby could get even close to replicating their success, leaving him in a very delicate sitch. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But there are silver linings even where you can\u2019t spot them. The younger Deol\u2019s luck turned \u2013 if only for a brief minute \u2013 almost 20 years ago. <\/span>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1516958710.jpg\" alt=\"Bobby Deol\" width=\"803\" height=\"407\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-30709\" \/>\n<figcaption>\n<p>In <em>Soldier<\/em>, Bobby\u2019s Vicky urf Raju played a contract killer with a hint of #wanderlust, who travels to Sydney to avenge his father\u2019s inglorious death<\/p>\n<p>Image Credit: Ramesh Taurani<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abbas-Mustan, the Men In White, bestowed on Diet Coke Deol, the opportunity to flaunt his most lethal weapon, his curls, in their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/donald-trump-narendra-modi-time-person-of-the-year\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deshbhakti <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">thriller <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soldier<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. On paper, the film might have screamed about the significance of loving one\u2019s country with lines like \u201cJo desh ke liye jaaan dete hai woh shaheed kehlate hai\u2026 jo desh ke liye jaan lete hai woh kaatil nahi, soldier kehlate hai.\u201d But deep down, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soldier<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was actually designed to manufacture viewers into falling in love with Bobby Deol, the multi-faceted hero.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the film, Bobby\u2019s Vicky urf Raju played a contract killer with a hint of #wanderlust, who travels to Sydney to avenge his father\u2019s inglorious death, and bring a set of illegal arms smugglers to justice. Along the way, he also falls in love with Preeti (Preity Zinta), the daughter of one of the smugglers, who helps him reveal yet another surprise weapon: dance moves. Witnessing a Deol who can dance is like watching a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/jab-harry-met-sejal-review-shah-rukh-khan-anushka-sharma-imtiaz-ali\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SRK<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> film that doesn\u2019t disappoint: rare, almost impossible. But, Diet Coke Deol was up to the challenge, outdoing his father, brother, and his genes in the dance-off that has completely changed the way <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/newness-nicholas-hoult-laia-costa-drake-doremous-dating-apps-relationships\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">millennials <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">say no: Naiyyo, Naiyyo!<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the rest of the film, Bobby Deol showed the world what a true Soldier can do, with his curls swept back, a personality that wore classic Oakleys 24\/7, and living upto a vow to make sleeveless ganjis cool again. Besides dropping romantic one-liners like \u201csorry ussi ko bolte hai jisse shaadi karte hai,\u201d he also waxed eloquent about his contract killer principles, burnt a SK8r Boi\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mo1NtnTfp0o\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teeth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and beat over 20 henchmen to pulp like it was his morning cardio. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yet, the zenith of his stardom came during the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qUqT1fhMK8k\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">title track<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the film. It began with our homeboy dressed in all-black, climbing up a hill with a furrowed brow. As Preeti stared unblinkingly at his swinging forearms, nothing short of poetry in motion, young girls across India were introduced to an unknown tingly feeling that millennials later classified as \u201cthirst\u201d. After all, what\u2019s not to love about a star kid who possessed no trappings of a star, had terrific screen presence, and made girls drool? <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gupt <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soldier<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the verdict was out. Bobby Deol\u2019s uncontainable sex appeal was in fashion, and the #ForearmAppreciationClub was in full swing. That year, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soldier <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">became the fourth-highest-grossing film in Bollywood. It was assumed that the stage was set for a Bobby takeover. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadly, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soldier<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was also Bobby\u2019s last hit as a lead. <\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>After Gupt and Soldier, the verdict was out. Bobby Deol\u2019s uncontainable sex appeal was in fashion, and the #ForearmAppreciationClub was in full swing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before he could comprehend, the tide had suddenly changed, and Bobby had started self-destructing by choosing the kind of movies (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chor Maachaye Shor, Shakalaka Boom Boom, Kismat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) even KRK would shy away from reviewing. Neither did these films set the box-office on fire, nor did Bobby continue being offered lead roles. After a point, Bobby became almost disposable, save for rare appearances in multi-starrers where he\u2019d be as much of an afterthought as the \u201ca\u201d in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/golmaal-again-movie-review-rohit-shetty-ajay-devgn-tusshar-kapoor-kunal-khemu-tabu-parineeti-chopra\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ajay Devgn\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> surname. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For us millennial women however, Bobby Deol, will always be an icon. He comes close to being the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/vinod-khanna-rip-bollywood-amitabh-bachchan-zeenat-aman-aap-jaisa-koi-farishtay-qurbani\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vinod Khanna<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of our generation (even though, Vinod Khanna was the Vinod Khanna of our generation). He might never have earned the top spot when it came to acting, but his unbridled sex appeal was unforgettable. And we continue being devoted followers, keeping his memory alive the only way we know how to: By creating<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bobbydeol_?lang=en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> parody Twitter accounts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, making him the star of all our memes, buying tickets for his <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/bobby-deol-played-gupt-songs-at-a-delhi-nightclub-angry-crowd-demands-refund-2996281\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DJ act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and putting our energies into making a long-overdue <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.in\/2017\/01\/25\/bobby-deol-on-lost-stardom-plans-of-reviving-it-and-how-appare_a_21662378\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of him go viral.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been two decades since <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gupt<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soldier<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
