Ajay Devgn vs Deepika? 'Should wait for facts,' says Tanhaji star after cops' JNU reveal

Days after Deepika Padukone's visit to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) stirred controversy, Ajay Devgn has issued a social media post saying that one should always 'wait' for proper facts to emerge.

Appealing to the citizens of the country to not 'derail' the matter and further the spirit of peace and brotherhood, the actor's tweet comes days after Padmaavat actress' brief seven-minute attendance at the Left-dominated JNU student's Union protest, and just moments after the Delhi Police named 7 JNUSU leaders including President Aishe Ghosh and 2 ABVP members in its violence probe.

Ajay Devgn's 'derail' tweet

Minutes after Padukone's pictures with the JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh surfaced, sources claimed that it was to promote her film, Chhapaak, which was due release at that time. Side by side, a number of posts giving credit to a PR agency, 'SPICE PR', were shared that made netizens question if the entire act was a just a 'mass campaign' led by the actress and her team.

Incidentally, Ajay Devgn's response over JNU violence comes on the day of his film release, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, clashing with Deepika's prestige project Chhapaak. And although there has been no bad blood between the two projects, political parties BJP and Congress have been picking sides over it. In Bhopal, the ruling party was seen distributing Tanhaji tickets, while the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) handed out Chhapaak passes.
