I love Preeti Desai but won't necessarily get married to her: Abhay Deol

Abhay Deol gets candid about his new movie choices, and future plans with girlfriend Preeti Desai
After the success of the very commercial Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, 'experimental' actor Abhay Deol has learnt it pays to step out of one's comfort zone.
So he's pushing the envelope further, ready to take on roles out of character and even do a Munni or Sheila if need be.
On the personal front, though, he's still not willing to 'toe the line' - while he proclaims he loves his girlfriend and wants to have kids too someday, marriage is certainly not on the cards for him.
For more on this and other startling revelations, read on...
You and Kalki are the odd ones out in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The others are commercial stars. Did that make you uncomfortable while shooting?
Once the camera is on, I forget what's mainstream and what's not. If I have made a choice with a film, it is because I think it'd suit me. As far as off-camera work goes, like promotions and stuff, I prefer to take the backseat. I'm not too good at that.
You're doing this interview, right?
Do I have a choice? But yes, who wouldn't want to talk about work that is being appreciated. I haven't really got a response like this before, but people have started to call me 'cute'. Now that's new.
Well, this is the cleanest shaven we've seen you since Socha Na Tha...
I think you're referring to my 'I don't give a damn' look in Dev D. The brief for this one was the geeky boy-next-door. I'm glad it worked.
But this one was certainly far from the experimental work we have seen you do...
There was a point when I worked in 10 different films with 10 new directors and was happy about it. But now, I'm a little tired of taking chances. In fact, now I've decided to do an item number soon.
Hope you've taken tips from Katrina.....
No, I'll take tips from Genelia. She's my next heroine.
So you'd be glad if the Yashrajs and Dharmas of the world come knocking at your doorstep?
What makes you think they haven't already? All I'm looking for is a good script.
You are one actor who's known for the choices you make. Why would you want to follow the flock?
This is a part of the choices I make. A hit like ZNMD will give my next film Shanghai, which is not an out and out masala film, a huge nudge.
We also hear you're all set to bid goodbye to bachelorhood pretty soon...
I'm very happy in my current relationship with Preeti Desai, and I couldn't ask for more. I would love to settle down, but not necessarily get married.
I don't understand why it's a mandate. And I'm quite sure my kids would understand.

A female fan landed up with a bouquet of flowers and pleaded with him to marry her. She agreed to leave only after the actor clicked a picture with her.
And though we're sure the actor loved all the attention, he's not yet in the mood to tie the knot.
He has been in a steady relationship with model-actor Preeti Desai for a few years now.
But few things sell in B-Town as much bachelorhood, and we guess it'll be a while before Abhay takes a walk down the aisle.
Bollywood is a place where, on a daily basis, thousands of aspiring actors strive to become actors but only few of them make it to the top.
In an industry where most stars belong to families with a 'filmy' background some of them are lucky to be on top without any filmy background or a godfather.
However, the legacy of filmy families is still followed and it is not a hard task to land a film which is why, belonging to such a family really counts in Bollywood.
In this respect, we bring forth a list of some powerful families that seem to rule Bollywood.
The Kapoors
When it comes to famous Bollywood families, the first one to strike your mind would probably be the Kapoor family. The legacy was started by Prithviraj Kapoor who came to Mumbai to fulfill his dream of being a part of Hindi movies. After a successful run in Bollywood, his sons, the legendary, Raj Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor came forth and leterally ruled over it for almost three decades. Then came the turn of Raj Kapoor's sons Randhir, Rajiv and Rishi Kapoor of whom, Rishi was the most successful in the the industry.
Taking up the Bollywood reins after them was Karisma Kapoor who went on to become one of the top actresses of her time. After Karisma, its younger siblings, Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor who are currently the hottest properties of the Hindi film industry.
The Roshans
The man who gave birth to the Roshan family tree in Bollywood was erstwhile music composer Roshan Lal Nagrath, father of Rakesh and Rajesh Roshan. Better known as Roshan, he composed music for quite a number of films like 'Barsaat Ki Raat' and 'Taj Mahal', and was a successful music director of his time. His two sons carried forward his name with Rakesh Roshan taking up acting and Rajesh Roshan, stepping into his father's shoes as a music director.
After Rakesh and Rajesh Roshan, the responsibility of keeping the Roshan flag flying in Bollywood lies solely on the shoulders of Rakesh Roshan's son, Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik is not only a successful actor but one of the most sought after superstar in the industry.
The Bachchans
The Bachchan family is considered to be the first family of Bollywood despite not having a huge line-up of Bollywood stars like the Kapoors. The Bachchan family, initially, comprised of actors Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and their son, Abhishek Bachchan. However, this family got a huge boost after Aishwarya Rai became a part of this clan after her marriage to Abhishek Bachchan.
Now, with the announcement of her pregnancy, we're guessing that another generation of the Bachchan family is on its way to take Bollywood by storm.
The Deols
Dharmendra started his very own family tree in Bollywood with his children following in his footsteps very easily. His sons, from his first marriage, took up acting and tasted success.
However Sunny Deol was much more successful than younger brother Bobby Deol. Esha Deol, his daughter from his second marriage to Hema Malini, is also an actress but not a successful one. In fact, Esha is making her comeback in her mother's directorial, 'Tell Me O Khuda'.
Also a part of the Deol family is Abhay Deol, who is the nephew of Dharmendra. Despite being a part of the family, Abhay is totally different from the rest of his cousins. Instead of action oriented roles and commercial films, Abhay opts for unconventionality in his roles and films. We can easily say, that Abhay Deol is the best actor that the Deol family has produced.
The Mukherjees
When we talk about the Mukherjee family, we instantly think of Kajol, her sister Tanisha and Rani Mukherjee. However, the Mukherjee family goes a long way down in Bollywood history. The family's tryst with Bollywood began with Sha Mukherjee, the founder of the famed Filmistan studios.
His five sons followed him into the industry, one of whom was 60's actor Joy Mukherjee. Shomu Mukherjee, who was a writer/producer/director, married Tanuja who, on the other hand, belonged to the Samarth family and was the younger sister of one of the most celebrated actress of Bollywood, Nutan.
Tanuja's daughters, Kajol and Tanisha also went on to act in movies with Kajol achieving superstardom. Her cousin, Rani Mukherjee is also a sought after actress in Bollywood and like Kajol, she too has created a niche for herself.
The Khans
No, we're not talking about the 'Khans' of the industry but only one family that has contributed to and gained from Bollywood to a great extent. The Khan family being mentioned here is the one started by noted script-writer Salim Khan, more famous as Salman Khan's father today. In collaboration with Javed Akhtar, Salim Khan churned out massive hits like 'Sholay', 'Zanjeer', 'Seeta Aur Geeta' and 'Mr. India'. His second marriage was with yesteryear dancer/actress Helen.
All sons, Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail took to acting but only Salman Khan made it big in the industry. Presently, he holds the record of churning out some of the biggest hits in the past few years and is also the highest paid actor in Bollywood reportedly. After an unsuccessful run in the industry, Arbaaz Khan struck gold with his first production 'Dabangg'.
Another member of the Khan clan who is quite a hot property in the industry is Arbaaz Khan's wife, Malaika Arora-Khan. Her item numbers are always a rage and she is a leading fashionista in the film industry. Apart from being a fully filmy clan, this family is a tight-knit one. (MensXP.com)
