Like Father, Like Son: Dharmendra and Bobby Deol Share a Timeless Passion for Bikes

Well before social media turned celebrity snapshots into an everyday occurrence, Dharmendra had already perfected the art of looking naturally cool on a motorcycle. Today, an old classic photograph of the veteran actor on a bike pairs strikingly well with a recent image of his son, #BobbyDeol, posing alongside a motorcycle of his own.

What stands out when the two photographs are placed together is not the bikes, but the striking similarity in the way father and son carry themselves. Dharmendra’s picture reflects the unmistakable charm of classic Bollywood, while Bobby’s photograph captures his more contemporary style.

The two images may belong to different eras, but the ease and confidence they share feel remarkably familiar. Dharmendra had his own effortless screen presence, while Bobby has carved out an identity of his own over the years.

Perhaps that is what makes the visual connection so special. Beyond the family resemblance, there is a shared sense of style.
