Abhay Deol recalls ‘celebrity worship’ around Dharmendra and Sunny Deol in '80s; admits not liking going to school because of his last name

As a lifestyle expert and someone who deeply values personal growth and self-reflection, I can truly relate to Abhay Deol’s story of growing up as an underconfident child in the midst of fame and expectations. His experiences resonate with me because I too have faced challenges related to identity and acceptance in my own life.

Abhay Deol shared on Instagram recently that as a kid, he felt insecure and was often bullied. Others and even himself had low beliefs in his abilities. Looking back, he acknowledged his past challenges, acknowledging that although his self-confidence and achievements were limited then, he held faith in the power of transformation and the value of ongoing education.

The actor has recently opened up about his childhood in the Deol clan, providing insights into how he coped with the difficulties he faced.

Abhay Deol on growing up in Deol family and why he hated school 

In an interview with The Dirty Magazine, the actor shared his memories of growing up as a Deol back in the 1980s. He pondered over how different the world of fame was during his childhood compared to today, attributing it to the absence of technology and limited access to entertainment on a global scale.

I couldn’t help but marvel at the awe-inspiring adoration my uncle, Dharmendra, and my brother, Sunny Deol, received back in the early ’80s. The intensity of their fanbase left me utterly captivated.

He openly shared that growing up was not a breeze for him. He confessed to having a strong dislike for school due to the uncomfortable queries about his home life and the unpredictable responses from teachers.

Some teachers were very kind to him solely due to his last name, while others had a negative attitude towards him for the same reason. It all depended on the specific teacher and their personal opinion of fame.
