The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - The Tribune Lifestyle

Cutting-edge wit
In his films he might be suitably understated, almost to the point of being self-effacing. But in person the gifted actor Abhay Deol is candid and upfront, bristling with a sardonic sense of humour. Speaking at the final day, in a special session of Film Bazar organised by NFDC, to most questions his answers are cutting and quick. So the actor who found his way into the hearts of audiences with his part of a degenerative lover in the much-acclaimed film Dev D, a modern take on Devdas, has no hesitation in saying that he is no fan of either the character Devdas or the book by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay.

DIFFERENT TAKE: Abhay Deol

Root of the matter
Bollywood is a definite stop-over for all Punjabi singers. But when it comes to Rajinder Singh Rai, Punjabi MC, the English musician is not in a hurry to join the brigade. In Chandigarh to perform at Blue Blazer, the Mundiya Toh Bach Key Rahin singer wants no one to obstruct his passion.
