In a chat with stand-up comedian and television presenter Kapil Sharma and his team, the actors spoke at length about their time in the industry and also shared some interesting insights.

To this, Devgn shared that in the 1990s, he and Akshay Kumar used to almost shoot 10 films in a year. Being Punjabis, they would eat a lot of desi food and be quite high on stamina

Action star Ajay Devgn revealed that he gets claustrophobic in a lift. He shared that during the shoot of Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Bhoot’, he climbed 28 floors through the month-long schedule to avoid elevators. Giving the reasons for the same, he revealed that once the lift he was in, malfunctioned and he dropped down from the fourth floor to the ground floor in an instant. He was also stuck in the lift for almost an hour. Devgn shared that he was so affected by the incident that he even changed the doors of his house lift and got transparent doors.

Kapil Sharma discussed how Devgn and Akshay Kumar usually have multiple films in a year while the Khans stick to just one. To this, Devgn shared that in the 1990s, Akshay Kumar and him used to almost shoot 10 films in a year. Being Punjabis, they would eat a lot of desi food and be quite high on stamina. He also shared the smart strategy that helped him shoot easily. Devgn revealed that he used to wear the same pair of jeans and only change his shirts for the different shoots.

As Devgn and Sharma started pulling Tabu’s leg, she share that it’s because of her friendship with Devgn that she is still single. She revealed she always used to hang out with Devgn and his gang and because of them, no guy ever came close to her. Devgn got back stating that she should rather thank him for that as she’s happy rather than being married.

On the show, Devgn revealed that it’s only because of his father that he’s an actor. He shared that he wanted to explore his opportunities in the field of filmmaking and stunts but his father was adamant that he would only work towards being an actor. Sharma thanked Devgn’s father for if it wasn’t for his decision, the world wouldn’t have found such a talented actor.
