Bobby Deol Reveals Sons Aryaman and Dharam Aim to Follow in His Acting Footsteps
On May 30, 2026, Bobby Deol stepped onto the set of Aap Ki Adalat to talk about his next big role, the crime drama Bandar, scheduled for a June 5 theatrical release. The episode, however, was more than a promotion—it became a family announcement that the actor’s two sons, Aryaman and Dharam, are determined to follow in his footsteps.
In the interview, Deol said, “Both of my sons want to be heroes.” He went on to explain that Aryaman, a 21‑year‑old finance graduate from New York University, had originally been expected to launch a corporate career in the United States. Instead, the young man has pivoted toward acting, “learning now,” Deol noted, describing Aryaman’s efforts to hone his craft and his self‑taught work in filmmaking during the pandemic.
Dharam, born in 2004, also expressed a desire to enter the film industry. While Deol did not detail Dharam’s current training or projects, he confirmed that the younger son shares the same ambition.
The Deol household has long been intertwined with cinema. Bobby married interior‑design graduate Tanya Deol in 1996. Tanya began her career as a costume designer for several of Bobby’s films and now runs a bespoke furniture line. The couple’s children—Aryaman, born in 2001, and Dharam—have grown up in an environment that blends creative and professional pursuits.
Bobby Deol’s own career spans more than two decades. He first appeared as a child artist in Dharam Veer (1977) and earned a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for his lead role in Barsaat (1995). Since then, he has starred in a mix of commercial successes and critically noted projects, including Gupt (1997), Soldier (1998), Ajnabee (2001), and recent streaming ventures Class of ’83 (2020) and Aashram (2020‑present). In 2023, he received a Filmfare nomination for his supporting role in Animal.
Bandar marks Deol’s first collaboration with director Anurag Kashyap. The film follows Sameer Mehra, an aspiring rock star who faces serious allegations. The screenplay was written by Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee, who previously worked on Paatal Lok, Kohrra, and Udta Punjab. According to the production team, the story blends crime‑thriller elements with a character study of a troubled musician.
The film’s release is scheduled for June 5, 2026, positioning it for a summer theatrical run. Deol’s involvement in Bandar is seen as a continuation of his recent shift toward more nuanced roles in both mainstream and independent cinema.
The announcement of his sons’ aspirations, combined with Deol’s upcoming project, underscores the Deol family’s ongoing presence in Bollywood. While Aryaman and Dharam are still in the early stages of their training, the public interest in their potential careers reflects the broader trend of second‑generation actors entering the industry.
As of now, no further details have been released about Aryaman’s or Dharam’s specific training schedules, casting calls, or potential debut projects. Deol’s own filmography will expand with the release of Bandar, and the Deol family’s legacy continues to be monitored by industry observers and fans alike.
