Ajay Devgn is one of the most popular talented actors known in Bollywood. Recently, he has become a National Award recipient for his role in the 2020 film Tanhaji. The actor began his Bollywood journey with his first action-romantic film Phool Aur Kaante directed by Kuku Kohli. His stunt of standing on two motorcycles is still remembered. Ajay was lucky enough to excel as an action star, under the mentorship of his late action choreographer father Veeru Devgun.
However, it would be an injustice to his talent if we say he rose to success because of his father. He did have a role in making him an action star in Bollywood, but Ajay rose to fame with his own acting talent and now he is one of the senior-most cine stars of Indian cinema other than Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, and Shahrukh Khan. You might be a big fan of Ajay for his portrayal of different roles in all the films that he has appeared in. But are you aware of his early life and earnings? If not, then today I am going to reveal it briefly in this article.

Although she has been paired with Ajay in more other films including Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha, Hulchul, Raju Chacha, Dil Kya Karein, and You, Me Aur Hum, she was considered the perfect Bollywood pair with Shahrukh Khan due to the number of hits like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Baazigar, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and more, she got married to Ajay.
