Throwback: When Ajay Devgn said he was a gunda during college days, revealed ‘I have been behind bars’ | Hindi Movie News

Ajay Devgn is among the most successful actors in India with almost 127 films under his credit ever since he debuted in 1991 with ‘Phool Aur Kaante’.

Apart from his popularity in Bollywood, Ajay is also quite well-known for his college day as he claimed himself to be a ‘gunda’ (goon). When asked about it in 2018, he told Mid Day that he was indeed a ‘full on’ baddie who even went behind the bars and was also sent to the lockup twice.

Ajay went on to recall the time when he sneaked out his father-filmmaker Veeru Devgn’s gun without his knowledge and quickly reminded himself by calling it illegal.

The ‘RRR’ actor admitted that he never had to struggle in life, although he did work hard. Ajay who completed his studies at Mumbai’s Mithibai college, always had a passion for films. In fact, he started helping his father with film edits when he was just 8 or 9 years old.

“By 12-13, I had started making my own films. My father had bought me a camera. I used to do a lot of special effects, create my own sets, by the time I was 15,” he said. Ajay first officially shot some portions of his father’s film ‘Madam X’ starring Rekha in 1994.

Years after facing the camera as an actor, Devgn finally made his directorial debut with his film ‘U Me Aur Hum’ under his banner.

On the work front, he will be seen in his upcoming directorial ‘Runway 34’, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan and Rakul Preet Singh.
