Abhay is an actor who has never shied away from speaking his mind; a producer who doesn't believe in the 'formula', a film curator with a keen eye for detail and good stories, a painter who's not scared to experiment with colours and a philanthropist who wishes to leverage his position to bring a positive change in society. Well, that's in short Abhay Deol, if only the versatile actor could fit in boxes.
Despite coming from the most-filmy family of Bollywood- the Deols, Abhay is a man of few words who lets his work and films do the talking bit. You may call him non-conformist but Abhay's panache of portraying complex characters is matched by very few in the cinema world as evident from his filmography that includes films like Dev D, Raanjhana, Manorama six feet under, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Shanghai and Oye Lucky Lucky Oye.
Whether it was acquainting Sunny Deol to Imtiaz Ali for his debut Socha Na Tha, raising funds for Manorama Six Feet Under or giving Anurag Kashyap the idea to give Devdas a contemporary twist in Dev.D, Abhay always went beyond the traditional responsibilities of an actor even in the early days of his career.
Despite his success with films that have been termed "art-house" and "off beat", Abhay - right from his first shot has continually balanced and found success both with artistic/indie cinema as well as hugely successful Bollywood blockbusters.
He has consistently taken chances with debutante directors from the start of his career. Be it Imtiaz Ali, Reema Kakdi or Navdeep Singh, just to name a few. He's also carried the freedom, and his penchant for going against the grain, into his work as a producer - backing newcomers and new storylines. With a huge fan-following across the globe, Abhay has always stood for the cause of parallel cinema, which is one of the reasons he became a film curator. He also ventured into the digital medium with Chopsticks and Line of Descent, apart from stepping into Tamil cinema with Hero and Idhu Vedhalam Sollum Kadhai. With a strong social media presence, Abhay is known to take a stand divergent to the rest of tinsel town's herd opinions, which is what makes him 'thinking women sex symbol.'- Actress

When asked by the camp authorities why he requested for more than the standard quota, he stated that being a fast bowler he needs to eat more to maintain stamina. The camp burst into laughter, with the response from the coaches being "We don't produce fast-bowlers in India". Rest as the cliche goes is history.
Starting from his debut in 1978, where he delivered a bouncer to arch-rivals Pakistan's opening batsmen, till his retirement in 1994, Kapil Dev sent back several of cricket history's best batsmen against pace bowling back to the pavilion, even on the unhelpful wickets of his home country, displaying his ability to think players out with a combination of consistent line and length as well as swinging the ball both inside and outside of the wicket. This formed the core of his outstanding tally of 434 test and 253 ODI scalps, both stats being world records at the time of him bowing out.
And if the bowling alone wasn't enough, his batting displays became box-office attractions the world over, particularly against the best bowling attacks of his generation. Although always criticized for just enjoying batting in a destructive mode rather than being an accumulator like his cross border rival Imran Khan, he did more than enough to reach over 5000 runs with 8 centuries, 3 of which came outside the subcontinent. And his only ODI ton may very well arguably be the greatest innings in the history of the format, with his 175* against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup won the match, saved India from crashing out of the Group Stages unlike the previous two editions and above all India beat the mighty West Indies to clinch their first ever ICC tournament. An icing on the cake, Kapil happened to be the captain of this side which pulled off the impossible, his contributions being in both batting and bowling as well as fielding, as evidenced during the finals by his backwards running catch to dismiss Sir Viv Richards and the blinder to get rid of West Indian captain Clive Lloyd.
His tenure as a coach of the national team, however, was mediocre to say the least and allegations of match-fixing were raised against him by former teammate Manoj Prabhakar, forcing him to disappear from public life for a while. Cleared of all charges after thorough investigation, Kapil returned to public eye and in 2002 was voted by Wisden as India's "Cricketer Of The 20th Century" ahead of long time teammate Sunil Gavaskar and crowd favorite Sachin Tendulkar, the honor presented to him by his friend and batting legend Sir Vivian Richards.
Today, Kapil Dev continues to remain a revered figure in the international cricket community, with his name always popping up whenever someone thinks of the term "all-rounder" and is unsurprisingly a prominent guest lecturer on leadership and team management at events held on several prominent university and college campuses in India.
