Abhinav tweeted, “I am a borderline dyslexic, it is public now! So I will divulge more. It’s nobody’s fault, not even mine, it is what it is! It took me two decades to accept this fact! Now numbers and figures don’t embarrass me! I am exceptional in spatial ability. I am differently-abled.”
Sharing a screenshot of his tweet on Instagram, the actor elaborated further and wrote, “Yeah, numbers, alphabets, words confound me, I have difficulty remembering dates, names, the relation of those dates to names et al. But I am exceptional at spatial ability. Ask me to put all your extra luggage in your car’s boot. I will! I am good at few things and bad at a few! And I am in a perpetual process of improving on things I am bad at.”
