Ajay says he is happiest on sets

Ajay Devgn said, “Gradually, you start forgetting all your hobbies. And now, when you have a break, you really don’t know what to do with yourself. You feel that, 'I enjoy the most being on set'. Even if you take a break...you say, 'What do I do with myself?' I’m the happiest on set, or when I’m working.”

Ajay lauds Amitabh

He added, “I also believe – and I hope everybody believes this as well – that till whatever age you live, you keep working. The moment you stop working and decide to chill in life, you will age three times faster than what you are ageing. Look at Mr (Amitabh) Bachchan. He loves to work, he’s continuously working at this age also. He’s intelligent, normal, sane today also, only because he’s working.”
