Ajay Devgn: People feel that I am arrogant or intimidating

Ajay Devgn’s latest film Raid has garnered positive reviews from critics and audience. Ajay Devgn has never publicized about his life like most other actors in Bollywood do. Talking about the same, he said to a leading Indian daily, "There's a lot of insecurity today. What's also happening is that people have so much to do that their memory is very short-lived. I will forget in two days what I was talking about today. Whereas in our times, this never used to happen. So, you start feeling that you have to be out there and you have to keep reminding people, 'Look I am here'."

He also mentioned that he doesn’t feel the need to make his constant presence on social media. "I mean we all do that. Like social media, I personally don't believe I need to do but when you have something important to say or during these promotions then I do it. Otherwise I don't think it is important to tell people, 'Look, I am alive!' That's sad," said Ajay.

Adding further, he said, "People come and tell me, and not just for films. They tell me I should go out and talk about myself. But I can’t do it. I don’t think that’s my job. My job is to be in front of the camera and work speaks for itself."

On being tagged as arrogant or intimidating, Ajay said, "I feel misunderstood. I have said this earlier also. Because I keep to myself and don't talk much, they feel that he is arrogant or intimidating. But once they get to know me, their perception changes."

"People can never be happy watching other people happy. It's not about being a good or a bad person. It's just the society. It's human nature. That's why we are more fascinated with other people's lives instead of thinking about ours," he added.
