Basking in happy vibes from the success of his latest film “Happy Bhag Jayegi”, Abhay looked suave, as always, at the cover shoot of our magazine.
Ecstatic to make a return on our cover after totally smashing it the first time, the “Politically incorrect dying breed” that Abhay is, looks fantastical yet again on the cover.

We had a fun conversation with him about what makes him the person that he is, tried to know what the “Quintessential Abhay deol” is like and a whole lot of interesting trivia, obviously!

While it wasn't entirely normal, it was nor very different from an average middle class kid in a big city.

AD: My earliest memory is from the age of 5 or 6 – I was on the stage dressed as 'Krishna' and I remember thinking, 'this is fun!' That was probably the beginning, much before I knew it was!
EX: HAVING THE “DEOL” NAME ATTACHED TO YOU BRINGS BAGGAGE. HOW EASY OR DIFFICULT WAS IT TO PENETRATE THE INDUSTRY AND CREATE A NICHE?
