The moment brought nostalgia for Deol, who applauded the children and encouraged them throughout. Speaking about the experience, Bobby said he felt very happy and blessed to meet the children and advised them to focus on educational discipline and hard work. One of the children shared, ‘We performed in front of Bobby, sir, and he enjoyed it so much.’
He also gave us advice about studying sincerely. I, along with all of my friends, am extremely happy to meet him. The interaction became a memorable moment for both sides, with Deol highlighting the importance of perseverance and patience in achieving success.
