Bobby Deol revealed that he has quit alcohol
“Yes, I have, and it has really helped me,” Bobby said when asked about quitting. “Everyone is genetically different, and no one realises how any kind of intoxication can affect you. And some people have those genes where you get addicted to things.” Bobby also talked about how quitting alcohol wasn’t just a lifestyle change but an emotional and spiritual one. “You don’t get these kinds of chances in life. The voice has to come from within. I think I’m a better person after I stopped drinking, and I think my relationship has become a hundred times better with everyone I know.”
