Ajay Devgn fans rally to defend him against ‘expressionless’ criticism on social media | – Times of India

Ajay Devgn, a stalwart in Indian cinema with a career spanning over three decades and more than 120 films, has consistently demonstrated his acting prowess. Despite his achievements and acclaim, he hasn’t been immune to criticism. Recently, a Twitter user reignited this debate by labeling Devgn as “expressionless,” prompting a robust defense from his ardent fans.
The controversy began when a user with the handle @mastanified posted a tweet comparing Ajay Devgn to other Bollywood A-listers such as the Khans and Akshay Kumar.The tweet stated, “Ajay Devgn got to be the worst actor from his generation with no aura that’s why he didn’t reach real stardom like the Khans or even Akshay Kumar.” This critique sparked a significant reaction from Devgn’s supporters, who were quick to counter the claim.

Devgn’s fans took to the comment section to defend their idol, highlighting his significant contributions to cinema and his nuanced performances. One fan responded, “Bro he acts good. Loved him in Singham, Drishyam, and Shaitaan,” referencing some of Devgn’s most acclaimed roles. Another fan emphasized the actor’s superior box office performance compared to Akshay Kumar, noting, “Ajay Devgn is a way bigger star than Akshay Kumar just compare their box office numbers.”

Many fans pointed out Devgn’s remarkable achievement of winning four National Awards, underscoring his acting skills. A supporter wrote, “4 times national award winner hai Ajay. In terms of acting he is far superior. Some roles may be similar and acting too.” Another added, “Ajay Devgn ek brilliant actor h no doubt aajkal ke baccho ko ye sab nhi pta (Ajay is a brilliant actor but the kids nowadays don’t know this).”
Despite some users agreeing with the critique, the majority rallied behind Ajay Devgn, asserting that his subtle and relatable acting style resonates with many. One fan humorously remarked, “It might be true but guess what most Indian men are like that in real life so they just relate with him lol.”
Ajay Devgn’s illustrious career began with his debut in ‘Phool Aur Kante’ in 1991. Over the years, he has delivered powerful performances in films such as ‘Zakhm,’ ‘Kacche Dhaage,’ ‘Omkara,’ ‘Golmaal,’ and the ‘Singham’ series.
