Trans actor Bobby Darling recently shared how her close friendship with Bollywood star John Abraham unexpectedly faded, leaving her feeling hurt and ignored.
A Friendship Forged in Bollywood
Bobby Darling, known for her appearances in films like “Style” and “Chalte Chalte,” recently opened up about her cinematic journey. She credits director N Chandra’s 2001 film “Style” for putting her on the map.
During her time on “Style,” Bobby formed a close bond with actor-model Riya Sen. It was Riya who introduced Bobby to John Abraham, a friendship that quickly blossomed.
From Shared Meals to Silent Texts
Bobby fondly recalls a time when she, Riya, and John would frequent Prithvi Theatre to enjoy chicken dhansak, a Parsi dish John particularly loved. They also often went to the movies together, building a strong camaraderie.
However, Bobby reveals that this once-warm friendship has since cooled significantly. “He doesn’t talk to me anymore, nor does he respond to my messages,” she shared in an interview.
The deepest sting came when Bobby reached out to John a year or two ago, expressing a wish to meet him. “He didn’t even reply,” she stated, adding, “How can someone be so rude? He could have at least acknowledged the text.”
Bobby emphasized that even a simple acknowledgment, like “I’m busy, we’ll meet some other time,” would have sufficed. Her disappointment is amplified by her current search for work and the hardships she is facing.
Bobby Darling’s Career Journey
Throughout her career, Bobby Darling has been a recognizable face in Bollywood, appearing in various films including “Maine Dil Tujhko Diya,” “Tum? A Dangerous Obsession,” “Page 3,” and “Kyaa Kool Hain Hum.” More recently, she was seen in the Bengali television soap opera “Krishnakoli.”
