Abhay Deol, who grew up with the Deol family recently peeled back the layers of growing up in the spotlight, revealing the complexities that come with being part of a legendary Bollywood lineage.
Abhay reminisced about his formative years, when the world was not so technologically advanced, back then, celebrity status was more elusive, and the Deol family—led by Dharmendra.The actor, in an interview with The Dirty Magazine, recalled the frenzy surrounding his elder brother, Sunny Deol, during his debut in the early ’80s. It was an era of star-studded premieres, autograph seekers, and adoring fans who hung on every word uttered by their favorite actors.
However, fame wasn’t always a blessing for young Abhay. As he stepped into the halls of school, he encountered a mixed bag of reactions. Some teachers treated him with unwarranted kindness solely because of his last name, while others seemed to harbor a subtle resentment. Abhay confessed that this dichotomy made his school experience challenging.
He shared, “Some teachers would be extremely nice to me just because of my last name, others would be particularly bad with me because of it. Just depended on the individual and what they thought of celebrity.”
On the work front Abhay Deol has an upcoming project, ‘Bun Tikki’, sharing screen space with the legendary Zeenat Aman and the ever-graceful Shabana Azmi . The film marks Zeenat Aman’s return to the big screen.
