Tabu
Ajay
Devgn
friendship:
A
unique
bond
exists
in
Bollywood
that
transcends
professional
collaboration
and
delves
into
deep-rooted
friendship
–
the
bond
between
Ajay
Devgn
and
Tabu.
The
iconic
duo
emerged
as
one
of
the
most
cherished
on-screen
pairs
in
90s
Bollywood,
gracing
the
silver
screen
in
blockbusters
like
Vijaypath
(1994),
Haqeeqat
(1995),
Thakshak
(1999),
and
recent
hits
like
Drishyam
(2015),
Golmaal
Again
(2017),
and
De
De
Pyaar
De
(2019).
Their
camaraderie
is
set
to
amplify
in
forthcoming
ventures
Drishyam
2
and
Bholaa,
the
latter
being
a
remake
of
the
Tamil
action
drama,
Kaithi.
The
Childhood
Connection
In
a
candid
conversation
with
a
leading
daily,
Tabu
unveiled
layers
of
her
enduring
friendship
with
Ajay
Devgn,
spanning
back
to
their
growing-up
years.
According
to
Tabu,
Ajay,
a
neighbour
and
chum
of
her
cousin
Sameer
Arya,
was
indeed
her
childhood
bully
and
protector.
Notorious
for
spying
on
her
and
warning
off
potential
boyfriends,
Ajay
was
playful
yet
protective.
Reflecting
on
this,
Tabu
jokingly
blamed
him
for
her
single
status,
adding
a
light-hearted
demand
for
his
repentance.
"He
was
my
cousin
Sameer
Arya's
neighbour
and
close
buddy,
a
part
of
my
growing
up
years
and
that
has
laid
the
foundation
of
our
relationship.
When
I
was
young,
Sameer
and
Ajay
would
spy
on
me,
follow
me
around
and
threaten
to
beat
up
any
boys
who
are
caught
talking
to
me.
They
were
the
big
bullies
and
if
I
am
single
today,
it
is
because
of
Ajay.
I
hope
he
repents
and
regrets
what
he
did," Tabu
told
Mumbai
Mirror.
Unconditional
Affection
And
Continual
Support
Tabu
appreciates
Ajay's
dual
nature
of
being
childlike
yet
protective.
She
holds
dear
their
unique
relationship
marked
with
unconditional
affection,
highlighting
Ajay's
presence
as
a
stress
reliever
on
set.
Yet
when
it
comes
to
settling
down,
Tabu
revealed
on
RJ
Siddharth
Kanan's
show
that
Ajay
will
unlikely
prompt
her
to
marry
as
he
respects
her
independence.
Adding
to
this,
Ajay
affirms
that
their
shared
history
and
camaraderie
is
good
for
her.
Despite
speculations,
Tabu
has
her
version
of
a
settled
life-
a
close-knit
bond
with
Ajay
and
his
family.
She
considers
her
rapport
with
his
family
as
an
inseparable
part
of
her
life.
Be
it
their
childhood
memories
or
their
collaboration
on
screen,
the
duo's
unique
friendship
stands
the
test
of
time.
The
duo
was
last
seen
together
in
Drishyam
2,
which
released
last
year
and
garnered
an
amazing
response
at
the
box
office.
