Why did Abhay Deol avoid children and marriage?

Abhay Deol refused to have children and marriage to save the growing population.

No kids, planetary conservation

Abhay Deol recently revealed that he has no plans to become a father.

He believes that the earth is already overpopulated, so he prefers to “keep space free”.

Adoption is the only option

“If I ever want a child, my decision would be adoption – not birth.

I think it is important to understand the responsibility before bringing a new guest into this world,” Abhay said.

Easy life vs responsibility

Referring to his easy-breezy lifestyle, he said that having children might change his relaxed attitude.

“I am a very relaxed type, but having a child will make me more controlling and possessive,” he said, citing the example of his own upbringing.

No inclination towards marriage

Just like children, Abhay considers marriage to be a ‘cultural ritual’, which he considers not a “natural phenomenon”.

He said matter-of-factly, “I would rather be alone and single than be tied down and unhappy in a couple.”

Personality Expectations

Known for his soft and private life in Bollywood, Abhay Deol’s dating stories are always a topic of speculation.

But he himself has clearly said that one should be as interested in his private life as the audience is in his film choices.

Revelation on ‘Lady of Fortune’

Speaking on YouTube channel Jai Madaan – Lady of Fortune, Abhay also revealed that his protection in childhood upbringing left a different kind of upbringing on him, which may also reflect on his future role models—if he ever becomes one.

Priorities in life

Abhay Deol is today happy with his films, friendships and self-discovery.

His thinking shows that at every turn in life, choose what gives peace to the heart, not social pressure or traditions.

This revelation has made one thing clear: before taking any decision regarding children or marriage, it is important to take into account both one’s own happiness and the damage to the planet.
