The 43-year-old "Singham" star, who is married to actress Kajol and has two kids Nysa, 9, and Yug, 3, says he becomes the character he is playing in front of the camera.
"I am a very spontaneous actor. I feel the character. I am the only actor in the industry now who is doing every genre and audience have accepted me with open arms. I try to be the character. Instead of the character becoming Ajay Devgn, Ajay becomes the character," the actor told PTI.
Ajay started his career as an action hero with hits like "Phool Aur Kaante" and "Vijaypath". He went on to win the National award twice for his performances in "Zakhm" and "The Legend of Bhagat Singh". He also proved his mettle in comedy with Rohit Shetty's "Golmaal" series.
Ajay was recently seen in Sajid Khan's "Himmatwala", where he reprised the heroism of 80s era.
