Ajay Devgn and Box Office clashes somehow go hand-in-hand. Last year saw Ajay's 'Shivaay' clash with Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', the film underperformed at the Box Office due to the clash. And now, with 'Baadshaho all set to release next week, the film will clash with Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar's 'Shubh Mangal Savdhan'.

Talking about the clash, Ajay in an interview with a leading daily said, "Box office clashes don't matter. It has become common and happens with almost every film. It's just that some people voice their opinions, while others don't."

When the tabloid pointed out that him voicing his dissatisfaction during the 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' and 'Shivaay' clash was deemed as an act of rebellion by the industrywallas, Ajay opined, "I am not a rebel if I voice my opinion against a wrong practice. I am honest with myself, I speak my mind and say what the truth is. I have never played the victim card and will never do that, as I am strong enough to face the situation."

When asked if his 'I don't give a damn' attitude has cost him friendships, Ajay defends, "I don't feel the need to be diplomatic. I am happy the way I am. As long as I know I am right, I care a damn."
