Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn's film 'Raid' is doing quite well at the box-office and is being appreciated by critics and audieneces alike. Ajay, who is known for his spectacular work is disappointed with the way Bollywood is moving forward. He thinks that actors shouldn't be screaming for attention constantly, they should rather let their work do the talking for them. "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'," Ajay said to a leading portal.
He also added that he doesn't feel the pressure to be active on social media all the time. "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," he said. "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," he added.
Talking about the many tags given to him by people, 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." Do you'll agree with Ajay's take on this? Stay tuned for more updates.
