With women usually taking more time to get ready, it's perhaps expected of them to be late. But actor Abhay Deol is quick to dispel this stereotyped notion as he saunters in a tad late for the interview. Accompanying him is his girlfriend and 'One By Two' co-star Preeti Desai, who he emphasises, is not to be blamed for their delay. "I lost track of time as I was busy replying to lot of people who had written to me about the film," he says, flashing a sheepish smile. The couple sits down for a quick chat with HitList.
