How dare you. 😡 😆 From what angle was Bobby Deol ugly??? I admit he aged poorly but he was waaay better looking than pakoda nose Sunny in his young days. He was adorbs in Dillagi, Bichoo, Badal and so on. Or maybe nostalgia made him seem better looking??? Either way Bobby Deol will always have a special place in my heart!

My god...You people are being too harsh on this guy and its so unfair...honestly. The guy isn't bad looking at all. It's pathetic to say he's isn't hero material and not worthy of being an actor. He hasn't even debut and yet people are being very criticial towards him because of his looks.

Guys...grow up and stop being shallow. Looks isn't everything. Bollywood is a film industry not a modelling agency where actors get hired due their looks.

There are so many actors in Bollywood who may not be good looking but they are well liked.

Ranbir is strictly average looking but people love him because of his talent e.g. Barfi

Just because actor isn't good looking...that dosen't mean that they are unworthy.

Sunny Deol is a not good looking actor but the audiences loved him. He's of one the biggest stars in the 80s and 90s era. His talent is what made him stand out hence why he was popular.

Acting >>>>>>>>>>> Looks


Use common sense people.

I agree acting >>> Looks. The person you have in your profile picture is an example of it. But no one handed him a career though his dad was in BW. This dude is being launched by his father, I don't remember any starkid after Hrithik who has been launched by a family production for years But he worked hard. Most every other starkid has interned with film makers or went to film school before launch . What did this guy do ? Get launched by daddy. So the judgment will be harsh too, worse than for a Harsh Kapoor who actually went to film school and interned with people.

Why should we be 'fair" when he is practically thrust upon us ? The market will take care of this, that is the saving grace. I don't think we are being unfair or harsh when this guy practically walks into BW when outsiders are facing casting couches.

For your own information, Sunny is only giving his son a launch pad...which is not problem. There's nothing wrong that.

It's just a lauch pad. At least Sunny is not beggar like Sunil Shetty & Aditya Pancholi who needed Salman Khan to launch their children.

Like I said its a launch pad for a debut. After that he will be on his own just like most Starkids. He will competing with younger generation.

@Nikhil92. I am not going to quote you because you have erratically giant text. Not sure if it is intentional or posting glitch.

Anyway, while I do agree that acting is greater than looks; Bollywood has historically been a shallow industry that focuses on looks especially for heroes. If looks had not been important the likes of Nana Patekar, Om Puri, Paresh Rawal who in my opinion are phenomenal actors would have been the leading men of our films. Occasionally we do have ordinary looking people like SRK or Ajay Devgan become successful as leading men, but it requires a lot of hard work. There is absolutely nothing wrong in saying they do not look like hero material. It is entrenched in realism.

No one explicitly said he is not worthy being an actor either. But nothing wrong in saying that either. To be worth of anything a person has to prove their worth. Currently, he has done nothing to prove it. He has not even attended any performance training. He is getting everything handed on a silver platter. If he is talented and dedicated - he will succed against all odds. If he is someone just being propped up by daddy dear - he will fail. Remember what happened to Kishen Kumar, Mimoh Chakarborty etc.
