Ajay Devgn: People feel that I am arrogant or intimidating

Ajay Devgn's last outing Raid has been appreciated by both the critics and the viewers. Ajay has always kept his life private and is disappointed with the way Bollywood is moving and the actors have been screaming for attention rather than letting their work speak for them.

On this, Ajay told a leading 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'."

The actor also added that he doesn't feel the pressure of always being on the 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.

He went on to say, "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."

From being called arrogant to intimidating, Ajay has been given many tags. On this, he 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.
