Into The Wild with Bear Grylls: Ajay Devgn recounts how losing his father shook him

In the latest episode of 'Into The Wild' with Bear Grylls, actor Ajay Devgn opened up about losing his father at a young age.

Ajay's father, Veeru Devgn was an action choreographer in the Hindi film industry and was well-known for his stunt coordination.

Ajay Devgn said, that losing parents is really “tough”. "In the first 20 years of your life, you don’t care for them. You think they are stupid. They don’t know anything. You know everything. And by the time you have children, you start realizing what a parent actually is or what they must have done. And sometimes it gets too late also,” he said.

Being an action choreographer, Ajay Devgn’s late father Veeru Devgn endured a lot of injuries throughout his career.

Ajay shared, “He was suffering from Alzheimer’s and a lot of injuries because of the stunts. He had to go through the glass once when he was young, and he had 45 stitches on his head because that time glass break was real glass break.”

Ajay Devgn and Bear Grylls were at a remote island in the Indian Ocean for the episode, where they cascaded through shark-infested waters, during the course of the show. The special episode of 'Into the Wild' is now streaming on Discovery+.
