Many actors in Bollywood have struggle stories, having seen many ups and downs in their personal and professional lives. After choosing to be a part of the film world, many actors have gotten films easily, while others and struggled and have even taken a break from it after a series of flop films. However, this 55-year-old actor has never had a break since his debut and has never spent a year in which he did not give a hit.

During an appearance on 'The Kapil Sharma Show', Ajay Devgn also revealed why he used to shoot many films wearing just a pair of jeans. Ajay was quoted as saying, "In the 90s, Akshay and I used to do 10 films in a year. Being Punjabi, we used to eat desi food and our stamina was also quite good." Ajay Devgn further added that to avoid wasting much time during the shooting, he used to go to different shoots wearing the same jeans and only changing his shirt. Ajay Devgn, who has been a part of the film industry for more than 30 years and has done over 100 films, is now a superstar with every big director lining up to work with him. Ajay Devgn, who used to charge mere lakhs for appearing in films, now reportedly charges Rs 60 crore per film. Ajay Devgn's whopping net worth is estimated to be over Rs 572 crore. Ajay Devgn was the first Bollywood personality to own a private jet. In October 2015, Ajay Devgn established a visual effects company, NY VFXWAALA, after his children.
