I never understood that I had reached a certain level of stardom. I was very normal about it. I wish I had noticed it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe that would have made me focus about not losing it. I should have been more attentive towards it,&#8221; Bobby told PTI in an interview.<\/p>\n<p>He says he never cared much about competition with his colleagues in the industry and admits losing out on work primarily because of his approach.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I never thought people were competing with me. I was like everybody deserves work and why should I come in their way. But things had changed, everybody was going to the producers&#8217; office to get work, which could have been mine. I did not realise that and slowly started losing. I wish I had realised then. I wish I had a better physique but it is never too late,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>After staying away from the silver screen for about four years, Bobby is back with Salman Khan-fronted &#8220;Race 3&#8221; and the actor says he hopes the action thriller will lead to better opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>He has also been signed on for &#8220;Housefull 4&#8221;, besides another unnamed project with Salman.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For someone who is starving for work, what better can happen in his life than a big franchise film. Now the negativity will not take away my desire to work. Salman is a big star and still he has a fire, Anil (Kapoor) has tremendous energy. My dad is 82 years old and he wants to work everyday of his life, even my brother,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know why I did not take that positiveness from them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Directed by Remo D&#8217;Souza, &#8220;Race 3&#8221; is set to release on June 15.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mumbai, Jun 7 (DIN NEWS)\u00a0Bobby Deol says a lack of ambition and a &#8220;normal&#8221; approach about his status as a star worked against him but he is fully invested in his career now.
