Two actors
connected not just by being from the same industry but also are accounted as
good friends. Their bond still stands strong beyond the mechanics of Bollywood.
While Ajay Devgn has etched his mark as a powerhouse performer, Abhishek
Bachchan has carved a niche for himself. These two artist came together for the
first time in the movie – Major Saab but not as actors but as Actor (Ajay
Devgn) and Production boy (Abhishek Bachchan). With junior Bachchan being a
fresh pass out from college was asked to work in the production team for his
home production film Major Saab. No experience at hand, Abhishek still took
over the duty to support his father in the company that was not going through
the best of times. Ajay Devgn , the lead star of the movie was requested to
adjust his dates for few days of shoot in Australia due to Director’s ill
health. Ajay reached earlier before the team as he was already in other part of
the same country holidaying with family. Abhishek who followed the order of
going to the airport to receive Ajay and Kajol realized at the n-th moment that
he hadn’t booked a car for the star couple to take them to the airport.
However, bribing an Indian taxi driver with a photo opportunity with the film
Star – Ajay Devgn, he managed to arrange the travel. On reaching the Hotel,
Haqeeqaat hit him when he realized that no room was booked for the couple. With
no clue of the Golmaal happening behind him, Ajay asked Abhishek to join him
for a drink which a shy Jr. Bachchan avoided by saying ‘No Sir’. Tackling the
situation, Abhishek made them sit in the lobby while he rushed to his own room
and threw the entire luggage out of the window to make way for Ajay Devgn to
use the room without him getting the hint of it being Abhishek’s room the
previous night. Ajay again tried to
cross the LOC of a formal relation and asked Abhishek for a drink which
Abhishek again politely said ‘No’ to. With no room for himself, on a chilly
winter night, Abhishek slept on a bench on the footpath to avoid the embarrassment
of his goof up. Following the physically and emotionally heavy day, the next
day when Ajay asked him for a drink, the stressed out Abhishek readily agreed
but on a condition that the fact of him drinking should remain unknown from his
father. In other words, no Bol Bachchan of his drinking to reach Mr. Amitabh
Bachchan. This embarked the friendship of trust and respect between Ajay Devgn
and Abhishek. The incident still evokes laughter among both these artist but
surely Abhishek would have freezed in the moment with the blunder that he tactfully
avoided and relief he faced once settled to rejoice the moment with Ajay Devgn
over couple of cheers. This is surely a story that both can recollect and say
that Once upon a time..when we were Yuva!
