Ajay Devgan

His father Veeru Devgan is a action hero. After graduation from "Mithibhai College" he has taken to the direction of video films on his own story lines.

His entry into the Bollywood is like a bolt from the blue with his first film Phool Aur Kaante by Kuku Kohli hitting the box offices and the sale of audio album of the movie is beyond expectation. Later the films he could produce on their own banner - "Devgan Entertainment And Software Ltd." - along with his father could not satisfy him. He's not the one who gives up and through his sheer determination and hard work he finally managed to find a place for him among the top and has been working sincerely for his forth coming projects.

In the initial years, Ajay stayed faithful to this hard-earned image and continued to vindicate the cause of good versus evil in action bonanzas like 'Jigar' (1992), 'Divyashakti' (1993), 'Vijaypath' (1994) and 'Hulchul' (1995).

Somewhere in the middle of all the on-screen violence and breathtaking stunts, softer roles like that of a man wrongly confined to an asylum in 'Dilwale' (1994) and the illegitimate son of a gangster who grows up to become an upright police officer in 'Naajayaz' (1995) came his way. Gradually, he moved to softer roles with future wife Kajol in the light-hearted comedy 'Ishq' (1997) and the fluffy romance 'Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha'. Perhaps it was the success of these films or a desire to move away from the beaten track that prompted Ajay to cut down his workload and concentrate on quality. By this time, he had already entered the business of film distribution. For 'Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha', he personally designed the entire marketing and publicity strategy and pulled off a winner!

Ajay Devgan got married to his long-time girl friend and his professional colleague Kajol and is now blessed with a baby girl. He has got two National Awards for his two films Zakhm and The Legend Of Bhagat Singh. He is excellent in performing intense roles in both action and emotional kinds.
