May 19, 2025: Actor Abhay Deol recently swapped the film set for the DJ console and stunned partygoers in Gurugram by performing live as a DJ at a nightclub. Videos from the event, which took place on May 16 at Avatar nightclub, show the actor mixing tracks while casually smoking and sporting a cool, laid-back vibe in shades and a T-shirt.

His unexpected avatar sparked a frenzy among fans, many of whom couldn’t help but draw comparisons to his brother, Bobby Deol, who went viral for his own DJ stint back in 2016.
