Kajol recently shared insights into husband Ajay Devgn’s career, playfully crediting herself for his post-marriage success and hailing him as an actor who has mastered every genre.
A Playful Jibe, Serious Praise
Kajol, who tied the knot with Ajay Devgn in 1999, humorously suggested that his career really took off after their marriage. She quipped that she “taught him well and sent him out,” implying her positive influence on his journey.
Despite the light-hearted remark, Kajol was quick to shower praise on her husband’s remarkable versatility. Their dynamic, both on and off screen, has long fascinated fans, stemming from their first collaboration in the 1995 action thriller, Hulchul.
Master of All Genres
Kajol highlighted Ajay Devgn’s unique ability to excel across the board. She stated that he is perhaps the only actor who has achieved significant success in every genre he has attempted.
Whether it’s gripping action sequences, heartwarming romance, intense drama, or side-splitting comedy, Ajay has consistently delivered. His talents also extend to directing, where he has proven equally adept, according to Kajol.
Kajol’s Top Picks
When asked about her favorite films from Ajay Devgn’s extensive career, Kajol pointed to a couple of standout performances. She expressed her deep admiration for his role in the critically acclaimed movie, Company.
Another film that left a strong impression on her was The Legend of Bhagat Singh. Kajol described his portrayal of Bhagat Singh as truly immersive, noting that “every bit of him was Bhagat Singh in that film.”
Bouncing Back from Setbacks
Ajay Devgn’s journey as a producer hasn’t been without its challenges. Kajol recounted the significant blow he faced with the box office failure of his 2000 home production, Raju Chacha.
At the time, the film was reportedly one of India’s most expensive productions, and its commercial failure resulted in considerable financial losses. Kajol revealed that it took Ajay a long time to recover from the disappointment.
However, she lauded his resilience, noting that most people would give up after such a major setback. Ajay, she emphasized, continued to produce films, consistently striving to deliver quality products to his audience. His production house, Devgn Films, has since backed successful ventures like Shaitaan and Maa.
Kajol’s Recent Work
On her own professional front, Kajol’s latest film, Maa, was released recently. The movie garnered a mix of reviews from critics and audiences alike.
Fans can look forward to seeing Kajol next in the thriller Sarzameen. This upcoming film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Ibrahim Ali Khan and is set to premiere on JioHotstar.
