Actor Abhay Deol, known for his unconventional roles in Bollywood, has opened up about his personal choices and childhood experiences in a recent interview. Speaking candidly, the actor revealed that he has consciously decided not to have children.
On the YouTube channel Jai Madaan, Abhay said, “I don’t want to have children. If I was to settle down, then I would adopt over having my own because I just look at the world and I think why would I bring a child into this? I am happy, but the planet can’t be burdened with such an exploding population so I try and avoid adding more population to that.”
Explaining his personal concerns about parenting, he said, “I might be controlling and possessive than what I actually am if I had a child. I might lose my sense of easy-going and relaxed, I might be always on edge, protective, possessive. We were very protected growing up and I might reflect that on my own child.”
Abhay also recalled his family life growing up among film stars, stating, “At home in the beginning, it was never like somebody is a star, they were like papa, uncle, bhaiya for us. It is when you grow up that you realise that hum alag hain (we are different).”
He described how the Deol surname brought both recognition and complications in school and public spaces: “We are not like ordinary people because we get recognised wherever we go. Our last name is recognised. And you kind of get singled out because in school whether someone was a fan of my family and we would get extra special treatment by teachers. But when someone is not a fan, and they think that your family is not good, so they would put difficulties in your path. You have to be always on guard, knowing whether this person will be nice or bad to me. You come in knowing that you will be pre-judged.”
On the work front, Abhay was last seen in the 2022 film Jungle Cry and will next be seen in Bun Tikki with Shabana Azmi and Zeenat Aman.
