'''Abhay Singh Deol''' (born 15 March 1976),<ref name="zee" /> is an Indian actor and producer, who works predominantly in [[Bollywood|Hindi language films]]. Born in the influential [[List of Hindi film clans#Deol family|Deol family]] of the [[Hindi cinema]], he began acting at a young age in theater productions at his school. Deol made his on-screen debut in 2005 with [[Imtiaz Ali (director)|Imtiaz Ali]]'s romantic comedy ''[[Socha Na Tha]]''.

After the modest success of his debut, Deol was praised for his performances in films such as ''[[Manorama Six Feet Under]]'' (2007), which won him the Best Actor Award at the [[Indo-American Arts Council|Indo-American Arts Council Film Festival]], and the commercially successful ''[[Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!]]'' (2008). His breakthrough role came in 2009 with the starring role as Dev in [[Anurag Kashyap]]'s black comedy ''[[Dev.D]]'', a modern-day adaptation of the Bengali classic novel ''[[Devdas]]''. Following the success of the film, Deol gained wider recognition. He also played the male lead opposite [[Sonam Kapoor]] in the ensemble romantic comedy-drama [[Aisha (2010 film)|''Aisha'']] (2010).

Deol mainly appeared in [[independent films]] early in his career, but that changed in 2011 when he starred in [[Zoya Akhtar]]'s ''[[Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara]]'', a road film that went to become one of the highest-grossing films in Bollywood. His performance was well-received and earned him his first nomination for [[Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor]]. Deol has since appeared in independent films including the drama ''[[Road, Movie]]'' (2010) and the war film ''[[Chakravyuh (2012 film)|Chakravyuh]]'' (2012), while simultaneously working in commercially successful films including the romantic drama ''[[Raanjhanaa]]'' (2013), and the romantic comedy ''[[Happy Bhag Jayegi]]'' (2016).

Deol is noted for his portrayal of complex characters on screen, and is vociferous in his support for [[Parallel Cinema|parallel cinema]] in India. He has often been labeled as a nonconformist or an unconventional actor by Indian media. Deol owns a production company, Forbidden Films which was established in 2009. In addition to his acting career, he is also an active philanthropist and supports various [[Non-governmental organization|NGO]]s.
