Born on 15th March 1976 in Mumbai, India, Abhay Singh Deol can boast of Ajit Singh Deol, a director and producer, as his father; actor Dharmendra as his uncle and actors Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol and Esha Deol as cousins.

He was active in theater while in school, which motivated him to pursue acting in movies. Painting, philosophy and journalism were his other interests. He completed his graduation from Mumbai University and traveled all the way to Los Angeles to fine tune his acting skills in a two-year acting course.

Abhay Deol’s movies are characterized by down-to-earth acting. Abhay Deol said in an interview with Rediff that he didn’t get into acting because of his famous uncle and his cousins but because he was involved in theatre in school. “At 18, I decided to take the plunge. It took me 10 years because I didn’t want to leave my education to get into films”. He wants to work with his brothers and his uncle.

He made his film debut in the 2005 film, ‘Socha Na Tha’. The film got him good reviews for his performance. His second film was ‘Ahista Ahista’ in 2006 which got him good critical reviews. His 2008 movie ‘Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!’ was a big hit not just with critics but with the masses as well and established him as a dependable mainstream actor.

Abhay is a Piscean and is ruled by number 5. People born under this sign are ruled by Mercury. They have an attractive personality, are sexy, affectionate, shy, reserved and secretive. They are naturally honest, generous and sympathetic. They love peace and serenity and are sensitive to others. Pisceans are great kissers, and are easily angered. They are trustworthy, appreciative and return kindness. They hardly show emotions and tend to bottle up their feelings. They are observant and assess others.

Abhay Deol and Sonam Kapoor will be seen in the upcoming movie ‘Aisha’ directed by Rajshree Ojha. This movie is keenly awaited as Abhay Deol is known to have the knack of choosing the right scripts. It is an adaptation of Emma, a novel by Jane Austen.
