According to the actor, his reluctance toward studies regularly led to complaints from teachers, which eventually reached his mother. Bobby recalled an interesting incident from his school days when teachers complained about the language he spoke. The actor explained that he primarily communicated in Hindi during his childhood. However, since he was studying in an English-medium school, teachers expected students to converse in English.

He revealed that the school authorities informed his mother that he frequently spoke Hindi instead of English and jokingly suggested that if he preferred speaking Hindi, he should be enrolled in a Hindi-medium school. The complaint did not go down well at home, and Bobby admitted that his mother was far from pleased. Remembering those days, Bobby said that his mother took his education very seriously and was determined to make sure he attended school regularly.

The actor revealed that he was often reprimanded for avoiding classes and that his mother would personally ensure that he reached school. He recalled that because their home was located close to the school, she would sometimes escort him there herself after scolding him for trying to skip classes. The experience eventually pushed him to improve his English language skills. Bobby shared that he became so accustomed to English over time that he now often thinks in English rather than Hindi.
