ADVERTISEMENTAnubhav Sinha says he has no idea why Ajay Devgn does not speak to himIn an interview with Lallantop, Anubhav Sinha said that he has not been in touch or spoken to his Cash actor for 18 years. “We have never fought. He just doesn’t speak to me and I have no idea why. Since the making of Cash, we haven’t even met for me to tell you he ignored me or something. So, maybe, it’s just me overthinking. However, I did text him a couple of times, and never received a response, so I told to myself that maybe it slipped his mind or he must have missed my message. But, it’s been about 18 years since we have spoken.”Sinha mulls that some of his thoughts and opinions that he has shared on public platforms could be the reason for Devgn to distance him. “In between, I did comment on people’s political views, so I must have told him something too. But he was not the only person I commented about. I have said things to various people, but I still maintain good relations with them all. I am his admirer and I really respect him as an actor and individual,” he added.
Sinha calls Ajay best actor
Despite the distance between them, Sinha considers Devgn to be one of the finest actors of the industry. “Ajay was among my favourite actors. I loved him both as an actor and an individual. He is fun to be with. He is like ‘yaaro ka yaar’. Ajay is always the first one to be there for a friend in need,” he said.
