He says about his daughter and wife: “I don’t mind Kajol shouting at Nysa, but they fight like kids. Kajol is the grown up, she should be more understanding!”
I am meeting Ajay Devgn at Sun N Sand hotel, his favourite spot for interviews, meetings and sometimes, private parties. He’s the Yin to Kajol’s Yang. If she speaks nineteen to the dozen, he speaks in monosyllables, unless you’re close to him. She’s a faux pas queen. He’s always politically correct. She’s an extrovert. He’s not. He’s soft spoken. She’s boisterous. And not a single quality has changed for either of them.

“Kajol and I are perfect for each other, but everybody is different. I just urge people to let their partner be. Don’t try to change who they inherently are”
Although Ajay is open to the idea of promoting his films on social media, he is still uncomfortable opening up doors to his personal life (Shivangi Kulkarni)
“I don’t mind Kajol shouting at Nysa, but they fight like kids and Kajol is the grown up. She should be more understanding”
Ajay is glad that his four-year-long rift with Karan Johar has been overcome, and proved it by appearing with Kajol on Koffee With Karan recently (Shivangi Kulkarni)
“I don’t understand politics. I don’t go to parties, and you expect me to join some big party?”

“[When Kajol and I got married] my family was happy that there was finally someone speaking in the house!”
“I don’t know what attracted me to Kajol. Actually, we both don’t know what it was…”
“I tried stopping my kids from going to restaurants because there were photographers outside. But [then I thought] why should I deprive them?”
Ajay’s career graph has been consistent in all these years. He has always charted his own path (Shivangi Kulkarni)An ardent reader of HTBrunch, Ajay Devgn pens a wish for his favourite Sunday magazine!
