About Abhay Deol
Indian actor, active in Hindi films
Abhay Deol is an Indian actor who works mainly in Hindi films. He was born into the Deol family and began on screen with Imtiaz Ali’s romantic comedy Socha Na Tha in 2005. He was praised for his work in the independent films Manorama Six Feet Under and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, and his wider breakthrough came with Anurag Kashyap’s Dev.D in 2009. That black comedy, a modern-day take on Devdas, marked him out as a performer drawn to offbeat roles and contemporary stories.
