Salman, Kareena, Bachchans condole with Ajay Devgn, Kajol

Last updated on: May 31, 2019 13:04 IST

Bollywood came in large numbers to bid adieu to one of their own.

Action director Veeru Devgan had contributed to the film industry for over four decades, and his son Ajay Devgn has continued the tradition as an actor.

The prayer service for Veeruji, who passed into the ages on May 27, was held at ISKCON, in Juhu, north west Mumbai.

Ajay Devgn escorts his mother Veena, along with his wife Kajol and their daughter Nysa.

 

Nysa broke down at the prayer service, and was comforted by her father.

Not only Salman Khan but even his father Salim Khan has worked with Veeru Devgan. When Salim Khan, along with Javed Akhtar, wrote the brilliant fight scenes of Mr India and Dostana, it was Veeruji who saw them through.

 

 

Kunal Kemmu has known Ajay Devgn even before they co-starred in the Golmaal movies.

Kunal had been a child artist in the touching 1998 film Zakhm, which earned Ajay his first National Award.
