The son of a stunt choreographer, Ajay Devgn naturally focused on the action genre when he got into acting in 1991. But he branched out into comedy and romance, and later, serious dramatic roles. In 1998, he starred opposite his future wife, Kajol, in Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, a remake of the Hollywood hit, French Kiss. One of his notable critical and commercial successes was Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) with Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai. He gave astounding performances as the smoldering lead characters in the gangster drama Company (2002) and in Omkara (2006), an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Othello. While he has evolved into one of the best tragedians in world cinema, he also has light and enjoyable comedic flair, making him one of the most versatile actors in Bollywood. He married Kajol in 1999 and they have a daughter and a son. He starred opposite his wife in his directorial debut, U Me Aur Hum, in 2008. His recent hits include Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), Raajneeti (2010), and Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge (2010).  An intensely private man, he’s known to stay out of the limelight.
