Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn likes to enjoy a life away from the limelight. Despite his strong on-screen persona, he is one of the most-loved actors in the Hindi entertainment industry. Having made a mark for himself in the industry with her versatile performances, amazing action sequences, and impeccable comic timing, Devgn is known for playing pranks on his co-stars and the crew of the film. Often times such instances make the headlines. It was back in 2018 when he had admitted that a prank he played on a co-star’s wife led to her attempting to commit suicide.
During an interveiw with Mid-Day in 2018, Ajay confessed that one of his pranks had gone horribly wrong. Explaining that he had played a prank on one of his newly married co-star’s wife, the actor revealed that she hailed from a small town and didn’t know much about the film industry. He kept telling her that her husband was having an affair and kept on telling her that there were no night shoots. It is to be noted that the entire incident happened during an outdoor shoot.
Quoted by BollywoodShaadis, he added, “We used to shoot at night. She would obviously meet her husband in the mornings. We would keep feeding the wife that her husband is having an affair. And that, in the night, he goes off somewhere. There are no night shoots! I'd tell her that I return to my room at 10.30 [pm].” They continued to prank the wife for 8 days straight. Despite claiming that she knew about the 54-year-old actor’s habit of pranking each other, she consumed pills on the ninth day.
Devgn explained, “She'd tell me that she's heard all about [my pranks]. That she trusts her husband. This carried on for eight days. On the ninth day, we woke up and learnt that she had actually taken pills, had to be rushed to the hospital. She'd been fighting with her husband over this, throughout, checking with him on what the hell he'd been up to!”
It is safe to say that the Shaitaan actor recalling the incident has not gone down well with the netizens. While many have brutally trolled him for his horrible behaviour, others started to decipher who the couple would be. Some pointed out that Devgn could have played this prank with either Neil Nitin Mukesh or Vir Das’ wife as they were newly married with shooting their films with him.
One wrote, “The fact that this is coming from his own mouth. Uh i cant with this sick fuck.” Another commented, “Im guessing this was Vir Das’s wife. Vir Das got married in October 2015 and starred in Shivaay which released in late 2016. Ajay D was the actor producer and director of this movie.” Other one said, “It's Neil Nitin Mukesh and his wife who got married in 2017. She is an outsider and it was an arranged marriage of sorts and not like a long committed relationship of five years as was in Vir Das' case, so there's far greater trust there than a freshly married "arranged" couple.” One stated, “I wonder... Did he at least apologize to them? The article doesn't mention. And he clearly doesn't sound at all remorseful.”
On the work front, last seen on the big screen in Shaitaan, Ajay Devgn will be next seen in Maidaan. He has projects like Singham Again, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, and many other tentative movies in the pipeline.
