Today, on March 15, 2019, it is Abhay Deol’s birthday and his lovely cousin sister, Esha Deol left no stone unturned to make it special for him.

For the ones who don’t know, Esha and Abhay share a very warm and cordial relationship. In fact, a leading online portal had once quoted a source as saying, "They are constantly in touch. She has, in fact, taken charge of his fitness regime. Abhay is very lazy about going to the gym. She wants him to build on his muscles. They're constantly arguing over his laidback attitude towards physical fitness." (Also checkout: Esha Deol, Pregnant With Her Second Child, Shares The One Place She Wants To Visit With Her 'Babies')
Also, Esha in an interview had shared that she helps Abhay with his gym regimen. She was quoted as saying, "I do take him for workouts. It's always fun doing things with him. We share a lovely bond like any brother and sister. We stay two minutes away from one another, so when we want to chill together, we meet up. We keep in touch constantly. We've always been very close from our school days. I guess because now we're grown up and known names people want to know about us."

Adding further, Hema Malini ji had added, “He (Sunny) was the first person to come and see me at home and he saw that the right doctor is there for the stitches that were done on my face. I was really taken aback to see him showing so much interest. That shows what kind of a relationship we are having.”
Talking about his journey so far in the industry, Abhay had once told Deccan Chronicle, “The idea wasn’t really to usher any great change. I knew that a large number of people would’ve wanted me to look all muscular and play the angry young man, like my uncle Dharmendra and cousins Sunny and Bobby (Deol). Thankfully, I wasn’t aware of the consequences of following my own path. Back then, the thought of falling flat on my face never occurred to me.” (Also Check: Karan Johar's Ex And Current Students Sidharth Malhotra And Tara Sutaria Serious About Each Other?)
Among all the Deol men, Abhay revels that he shares the strongest bond with his superstar uncle. Abhay was quoted as saying, “Right now, I’m closest to him. I keep hearing these rumors about us coming together for a film. Honestly, when we’re all together under one roof, we never discuss cinema. There is so much else to talk about.”
