Abhay Deol Says Sunny And Bobby Deol Kept Their Distance From Him During Childhood: 'They Were Much Closer...'
Abhay Deol shared that his family, including uncle Dharmendra and cousins Sunny and Bobby Deol, tried to give him a normal upbringing away from the industry spotlight.
Abhay Deol, who’s part of the famous Deol family with uncle Dharmendra and cousins Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, recently opened up on his childhood. On The Suvir Saran Show, he said that his family tried hard to keep him, Sunny, and Bobby away from the spotlight. They wanted to give them a normal upbringing, away from the glamour of the industry. Abhay even mentioned growing up in a joint family with his two sisters and four cousins, all living together without the attention.
Looking back, Abhay shared, “They tried to keep us away from the glamour and the limelight. They tried to give us a normal upbringing that they could possibly give. I grew up in a joint family with Sunny and Bobby Deol. Our parents tried to keep us away from the industry because they thought that ‘one day you might join the industry or not, but right now you are kids so we want you to have a normal childhood.’ He also recalled how he grew up in the same house with his two sisters and four cousins.

Abhay remembered his childhood with his cousins, saying that while they spoiled him, they also kept their 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 was bullied at 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."
