Upon being asked about Salman Khan and SRK's reaction to his OTT debut, Bobby said, "I was very excited and they all are very fond of me - Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan. That way I have a very good rapport with all the people I've known in my life in the industry and I'm grateful for their love and affection. Salman and I have known each other from a lot of years - when he was starting his career and I was practising horse riding, biking and all that on the beach, we used to meet and that's how I got to know him. We became good friends and lovingly started calling mamu to each other. And, obviously, I remember when my bad phase was going on, Salman Khan told me 'why haven't you done this? Why did you grow a beard?' So, at that time, I had this big beard and I was playing a very dark kind of project. It was very intense and interesting. Things, however, didn't work but I kept that beard for two years."
He added, "He (Salman Khan) told me to get rid of it and asked why am I not doing anything. I said 'Mamu, I am trying to but nothing's happening'. He told me when he was going through a bad phase he got on my brother's (Sunny Deol) back and did a film with him then he got on Sanjay Dutt's back. Fir I said mamu let me get on your back and move ahead, to which, Salman told he will let me know. 2-3 years passed and I decided I'll work hard so that whenever I get work, I should be ready for it. One day he just calls me and asks, 'Mamu, shirt utarega?' and I said, 'Mamu, main kuch bhi karunga'. So, that's how Race 3 happened."
