I liked the Sonam Abhay chemistry, and i tend to lean more towards being a Sonam fan since early on, but i still think Deepika's definitley a better actress. She may be young and still have her good looks getting her movies, but she is more a woman than a girl, in the same way that regardless of Abhay's charm he thinks more like a man than a boy. I think this factor thats in both of them might put them together for a movie.
Then again, i think abhay has more charisma and acting talent in one finger than most of our actors do, and he could adapt to any heroine and make them comfortable. and to whoever said he was best with the girl in Dev.D, i have to agree, he was phenomenal with Mahi Gill, not to mention how he even made his relationship with kalki (Chanda) on screen believable and attractive.
