In 2006, Bobby starred in the romantic musical film "Humko Tumse Pyaar Hai". Bobby played Raj, a character who falls in love with Durga (Ameesha Patel), a beautiful blind woman with a talent for shaping pottery, but faces competition from Rohit (Arjun Rampal). Bobby and Ameesha have been labelled as the "Bollywood equivalent of Hugh Grant and Renée Zellweger". Although the film received a mixed reception, a number of critics praised Bobby's performance as Raj, with Taran Adarsh commenting, "Bobby Deol is only getting better as an actor. He manages to register an impact in a film that belongs to Ameesha and Arjun primarily." Later that year, he made a brief special appearance in "Alag" in the song "Sabse Alag".
