As a single child, he is exceptionally adored by his mother and father. Much like all energetic young teens, he thrives on playing sports like football and kabbadi.

In addition, Abhishek is academically inclined and devotes concentrated time to his studies. He is studying PUC at ITI and is keen on resuming his studies.
