Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn, who made his debut in Phool Aur Kaante (1991) with his memorable leg-split introduction on two bikes, has since been associated with high-risk stunts, following in the footsteps of his father, action director Veeru Devgn. Recently, when promoting De De Pyaar De 2, he recounted a terrifying skydiving event in which he witnessed a man die right in front of him.
R Madhavan revealed Ajay Devgn went for a daredevil skydiving stunt
In a candid interview with BookMyShow, Madhavan applauded Ajay`s courage, revealing that he once jumped out of a plane for a skydiving sequence with no prior experience. Devgn responded to this by recalling an instance from his training in the United States, saying, “As soon as I reached, I saw someone fall because his parachute didn’t open, and he died, right in front of me. And it was me next.”
Ajay further added, “Something similar happened with Leonardo DiCaprio, but his instructor jumped after him and saved his life. You will even find a message from him there that reads: `Thanks for saving my life.`”
On the work front, Ajay recently appeared in De De Pyaar De 2, the sequel to the 2019 film De De Pyaar De. Rakul Preet Singh and Jaaved Jaaferi reprised their roles, and the new cast includes R. Madhavan, Gautami Kapoor, Meezaan Jafri, and Ishita Dutta, among others.
