Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn celebrates his birthday on April 2. The actor who is married to Kajol and shares two kids Nysa and Yug, is known to be a prankster on set. While he plans to conduct things in good jest, there was a time when a prank went wrong leading to a woman attempting suicide.
In an interview with mid-day.com Ajay shared, “Years ago, there was this actor, who had just gotten married, and brought along his wife along for an outdoor shoot. The girl was from outside the [film] industry — a simple girl, from a small town. We used to shoot at night. She would obviously meet her husband in the mornings. We would keep feeding the wife that her husband is having an affair. And that, in the night, he goes off somewhere. There are no night shoots! I`d tell her that I return to my room at 10.30 [pm]. She`d tell me that she`s heard all about [my pranks]. That she trusts her husband. This carried on for eight days. On the ninth day, we woke up and learnt that she had actually taken pills, had to be rushed to the hospital. She`d been fighting with her husband over this, throughout, checking with him on what the hell he`d been up to!”
