Ajay Devgn has been entertaining his audience for three decades now with his heart-winning performances in various genres.
However, did you know that Ajay is not his real name and that he changed his name before his Bollywood debut?
Ajay Devgn’s name before his Bollywood debut Phool Aur Kaante was Vishal Devgn.
As per reports, in a previous conversation with Open Magazine in 2009, Ajay said, “Back then, when I was being launched, there were three other Vishals debuting at the same time and I had no choice but to change my name to Ajay so I wasn’t lost in the crowd. My old friends still call me VD (yeah, I know it sounds weird) and I changed the spelling of my surname at the behest of my mother, Veena, who has asked me to do it for many years. It makes her happy.”
Ajay is loved for his successful franchises – the Golmaal series and Singham and will next be seen in MayDay, Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR, Thank God and Maidan.
