People will laugh if I act like Sunnypaji: Abhay Deol

In a chat with Hindustantimes.com, actor Abhay Deol and his co-star girlfriend Preeti Desai speak about their upcoming film One By Two, being a celeb couple and his association with big brother Sunny Deol.

Abhay Deol's film One By Two hits the theatres this Friday.



Of late, the actor has been in news for reasons other than the film though.



After sporting a black-eye at a recently concluded award function, Abhay Deol posted his views on Facebook against the music labels that do not respect musicians' rights.



Speaking to Hindustantimes.com, the actor and his co-star girlfriend Preeti Desai talked about their upcoming film, being a celeb couple among a host of other issues.

On being a celeb couple

Hrithik Roshan's separation from his wife and Sunanda Pushkar's death remind us of the pressure under which celeb couples survive. Abhay Deol, however, feels being a celeb couple has its pros and cons. "You can complain about lack of privacy but you can't complain about the fact that you can jump queues being a celeb. Everytime they come up with reason to complain, I come up with positive reasons," says the actor.



Girlfriend as co-star

Being in a relationship to working with his girlfriend, Abhay seems to be managing both. Talking about the experience, he says that it is difficult to be professional with someone whom you know too well. "But we managed to keep it professional on sets. Also, in our case, you will see more chemistry onscreen than what exists off it," he added.



Preeti, on the other hand, seemed to be happy to be with Abhay, "It was great working together. He is the experienced actor and I am the one starting off. I wanted to keep it professional. It was quite easy, we could just concentrate on work (winks)."
