Bollywood

actor Ajay Devgn marked the birth anniversary of his late father, veteran action director and stunt choreographer Veeru Devgn, on June 25 with a rare archival video. The clip, shared on social media, offers an intimate look at the elder Devgn's views on acting, his unfulfilled dream of becoming a star himself, and his unwavering belief that Ajay was born for the screen. The post drew an emotional response from fans and serves as a reminder of the bond that shaped one of Bollywood's most enduring legacies of the Father-Son duo.

Veeru Devgn's Undying Faith In His Son

In the video, Veeru Devgn, born Virender Devgan, opens up about his own desire to try his hand at acting, and how he eventually accepted that it was not the path meant for him. Rather than letting that dream go, he channelled it entirely into his son. The veteran stunt director recalls knowing from the moment Ajay came into the world that he had the makings of a screen star, and made it his mission to put him there.
