Farah Khan reveals how female co-stars fought over Ajay Devgn: ‘Wig ke sath ek doosre ko maarte the'

Reminiscing about the early days of his career in her latest vlog, Farah revealed that female co-stars on set would literally fight over him. Farah Khan shared amusing anecdotes about Ajay Devgn's early career, revealing how actresses would fight for his attention on set. Farah says Ajay was a 'lady killer' 'I have worked with so many heroines who were fighting for Ajay on the film sets. Itne jhagde ho rahe they. Litreally, wig ke sath ek doosre ko maar rahe they. Ajay was a lady killer. (There were so many fights happening. They were hitting each other with wigs! Ajay was a total lady killer back then,' Farah said with a laugh. The ever-reserved Ajay, known for his calm and composed demeanour, couldn't help but blush. Farah teased him further, saying, 'You were always the silent kind, tera modus operandi hi wahi raha hai na? (You were always the silent type, right? That's your whole modus operandi!)' A visibly flustered Ajay replied with a shy smile, 'That's just how I am... you're embarrassing me now!'
