In an interview with Mashable India, Abhay Deol said, “I grew up in a filmy family. I saw fame up close as a child. I didn’t like it because your privacy goes away. A lot is written about you and I literally used to hate the fame and media. Because while growing up a lot was written about my family and people used to ask me – Is that true? It used to make me angry. Your father works in films, your uncle is a big star. Obviously, whatever was written about them was asked from me in the school. I know a lot of people who were there around the family to gain benefits and they were not friends.”
