Abhay Deol says Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol kept their distance from him when they were young: ‘I was annoying’

The Suvir Saran Show is presented by Amul, in association with Coca-Cola and The Lalit as hospitality partner.

Abhay reminisced about his childhood memories with his cousins, revealing that while they pampered him, they also maintained some distance. “I was the youngest. So they babied me but they didn’t want me around because I was annoying. They were much closer to each other than I am because I grew up not really around them much, but they were around each other a lot. My sisters are still very close to Sunny and Bobby,” he said.

When asked if he faced bullying school because of his family’s fame, Abhay Deol said, “School was a mix bag. Some were glamour struck and gave you extra attention or there were some who would judge you for being famous and resented you for it as well.”

Despite belonging to one of Bollywood’s most celebrated families, Abhay shared that his parents have always remained humble and grounded. “My mom and dad are very simple. They came straight from the village to Bombay. I compare them to Beverly hillbillies – The Bollywood hillbillies. They are very rooted and proud of the community they come from,” he said.
