Ajay Devgn admits to ‘ups and downs in marriage’ with Kajol

Actor dishes out secret to lasting relationship despite irreconcilable differences, explains why love isn't enough.

Ajay Devgn and Kajol have been blissfully married for over two decades now. The duo that tied the knot in 1999, welcomed a daughter, Nysa, in 2003, and a son, Yug, in 2010, has starred in several films together too, including Gundaraj, Ishq, Dil Kya Kare, Raju Chacha, Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha, and most recently in 2020 period drama Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior.

But the duo has had its fair share of ups and downs, irrespective of which, their marriage is a lasting one. Now, Devgn feels love has little to do with it because love alone, is “not enough for a marriage.”

In an interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, when asked about how he sustains his marriage with Kajol, Ajay said, “It is sustaining very well. Though there are ups and downs in every marriage. Disagreements are there, but you need to manage them because minds can't be alike.”

Ajay informed the YouTuber and his fans that him and Kajol also have disagreements about decisions regarding their kids, and like most parents, they don’t always see eye to eye in situations. “Where kids are concerned, two minds will think differently as well. But then we come to terms and discuss what is right and what is wrong and that's how it's going to work,” he added.

The Singham actor went to explain how important it is to understand the other person's point of view. “The first thing is that you need to be very open about when you think you are wrong, you should just apologize and get over with it, then it works. If you stay by your egos then it's not going to work.”

On asked if he is a ‘lovey dovey’ in real life, he shared, “I am not a physical person. I care for people; I care a lot and I show in different ways. Love transforms into partnership, responsibility, and care and that is stronger than love because only love cannot just make it work.”

Ajay made his Bollywood debut with the 1991 film Phool Aur Kaante. He went on to star in several successful flicks over the years, including Dilwale (1994), Ishq (1997), Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), The Legend of Bhagat Singh (2002), Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), and the Golmaal and Singham series. He will be seen in next in Runway 34.
