Actors Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur appeared on Farah Khan’s YouTube channel, where they promoted their new movie Son of Sardaar 2. The comedy sequel debuted in theatres on Friday, over a decade after the original. Ajay last major film was another sequel, Raid 2, which made nearly Rs 250 crore worldwide. Before that, he starred in Drishyam 2, which made over Rs 350 crore worldwide. Ajay also headlined the franchise-starter Shaitaan, which earned more than Rs 200 crore globally and inspired a spin-off titled Maa, starring Ajay’s wife, Kajol.
In the new video, Farah spoke about Kajol’s visit to her house during the promotions of Maa, and remarked that Ajay hasn’t ever come over, even though they’ve known each other since he was in college. She said, “I’ve known Ajay since college, I was his senior. Girls used to go mad over him, even though he wasn’t the conventionally handsome person. I’ve worked with many heroines who were fighting on the sets over him. They would literally hit each other with wigs. Ajay was a lady-killer. He was always the silent type. That was his modus operandi.”
An embarrassed Ajay asked for a glass of water, and was left red-faced by Farah’s comments. She spoke about the relationship that he has with Kajol, and said that she is not the same alone as she is when she’s around him. “Kajol is completely different when she’s with him. Otherwise she’s (loud) but I saw her on the Himmatwala set. She was very pativrata, putting food for him, very sweet,” Farah said, talking about her brother Sajid Khan’s film Himmatwala.
Joking about Maa, she added, “You’re producing movies for her only to keep her out of the house, aren’t you?” Ajay replied, “That’s the goal.” Maa was released some weeks ago, and made Rs 51 crore worldwide. In a previous interview, Kajol had also joked that she prefers when Ajay is away for work. “Ajay and I are completely different otherwise hum logo ko itne saal nahi lagte (it wouldn’t have taken us so long), we would have separated long before. I say this quite often that the secret to happy marriage is partial deafness and selective amnesia. You really need to forget certain things about your partner and sometimes unhearing things they said. It is very important,” she told Mashable India.
Previously, talking to Instant Bollywood, Kajol shared how she deals with Ajay’s obsession with work and said, “Sometimes I feel like, ‘Acha hua 40 din ka outdoor hai‘, and sometimes I feel like, ‘Damn, you should have been here for this’. I have got used to it now. He is very passionate about his work.” Kajol and Ajay Devgn are parents to a daughter, Nysa, and son, Yug.
