After that incident between Sridevi and Ajay Devgn, both were never seen together
New Delhi:
Bollywood’s first female superstar Sridevi worked with everyone from Amitabh Bachchan to Akshay Kumar in her career. Her pairing in every film was a wonderful hit but she never paired with Ajay Devgn. There was an opportunity once, when the two came together in a film, but then something happened that Ajay Devgn’s cover was cleared and Sridevi was completely blamed for it. At that time Ajay Devgan also said in strict words that he will never work with Sridevi in his career. Let’s find out what the whole story is.

The reason for the rift between Sridevi and Ajay Devgan
This is from the time of ‘Khuda Gawah’. Sridevi had already become a big name. However, various charges were leveled against him from time to time. Another allegation against her was that she intimidates new actors and even gets them transferred as per her choice. An interview was published in ‘Stardust’ in 1993, in which it was claimed that Chunky Pandey had also accused Sridevi several times that the actress had dropped him from two films as well.
When Ajay Devgan walked out of Sridevi’s film
Ajay Devgn also felt that Sridevi had replaced him in the film ‘Khuda Gawah’. It happened that Ajay Devgan was signed for the film, which was also confirmed by him, but Nagarjuna was replaced at the last minute. Just because of this, Ajay Devgan got angry and thought that Sridevi did it. This is also because there was a strong debate at the time that Sridevi had deliberately dropped Ajay from the film to cast a South actor. Ajay Devgn then took an oath that he would never work with Sridevi again.
Sridevi’s reaction
Sridevi was shocked when she came to know about Ajay Devgan’s vow. In an interview given to ‘Stardust’ in 1993, he said, ‘Why would I fire someone from a film? I don’t even know if he has been signed for this film. I don’t care who is in the film and who is not, be it Chunky, Ajay or Nagarjuna. Who needs to be cast in the film and who doesn’t is the makers job, I am who I am, I do what I am told. I did not replace Ajay in the film.
Things still haven’t worked out?
Later everything was fine between Ajay Devgan and Sridevi but the two never worked together. When Sridevi passed away in 2018, Ajay Devgn mourned and eulogized her. On Sridevi’s first death anniversary, Ajay Devgan said that he would never work with Sridevi but Sridevi was his first choice since childhood. His departure is a big loss for the film industry.
