Neither friends nor enemies, Ajay-SRK share a professional bond

For so long we have been listening to the news about two superstars Ajay Devgn and Shahrukh Khan’s personal bond and rapport they share. The two have always been talked about in the media with reports of personal rivalry and professional enmity. However Ajay Devgn has come out himself on his relationship with the actor.

Ajay says that the two are not friends, but that doesn’t make them enemies either. We’re all aware of the clashes that transpired during the release of Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son of Sardaar in 2012, since then the media has been extremely speculative about the two. “I never said that there is no equation with SRK, I had said that there is no friendship and I still maintain that. But that does not mean that we are enemies, we are colleagues and I have respect for what he is doing and hope he too does,” Ajay said. He also elaborated on the release issue in 2012 and said “Jab Tak Hain Jaan’ had no involvement from SRK. It was between Ajay Devgn Films and Yash Raj Films and they were trying to protect their product and I was doing for mine. So who was right and who was wrong – that’s not the question, the only thing is that we were trying to protect our products.”

The actor conveyed his thoughts and said that they are of course not on terms of very good friendship but they are certainly not at war. “You don’t have to be best friends with everyone. He has his life, I have mine. But since we are part of the same industry, we support each other. People are asking, ‘Patch up ho gaya? But jab dushmani hogi, toh patch up kaise hoga na? (People ask if we’ve patched up, but when there was no bitterness, how would one patch?’)

“People were just writing about it nor did I give any statements and nor did SRK so where was the problem?” Ajay clarified.
