Exclusive- Abhimanyu Dassani on his lack of paparazzi recognition: I don't care about fame, value my personal life more

Abhimanyu Dassani is gearing up for his upcoming massy-entertainer flick, Nikamma . Despite impressing the audience with his varied roles in Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota and Meenakshi Sundareshwar, the actor has shared instances where he was not allowed to enter his own event or the paparazzi’s lack of interest in him. In a candid chat with Desimartini, Abhimanyu opened up about the same.

Abhimanyu Dassani was quick to reveal that he remains unbothered about the lack of paparazzi frenzy surrounding him and said that he does not care about fame. The actor said, “I always laugh when I say about all these things. It does not matter to me and I do not care about fame.” Abhimanyu stressed that he is satisfied with his work doing all the talking for him.

He furthermore went on to say, “I’m a shy person and so I like my personal life a lot more. I like to visit the Sev Puri and Bhel Puri stalls outside my house. I love to have Nariyal Paani (coconut water) at the stall outside my place. Then I have an Idli Wala outside my house who sells Idli on his cycle, he makes delicious Chutney (laughs).”
