Bollywood action star Ajay Devgn has shared a harrowing, near-death experience from his career, revealing a shocking incident where he was compelled to perform a dangerous stunt immediately after witnessing a fatal accident.
The 56-year-old actor disclosed in a recent interview that he saw a professional skydiver die right in front of him after their parachute failed to open. This terrifying incident occurred just moments before it was his own turn to jump and perform the stunt for a film, which he was set to execute without any prior practice.
Devgn highlighted his professional commitment and mental resilience, stating that despite witnessing the tragedy, he signed crucial documents accepting full responsibility for the inherent dangers and proceeded to complete the stunt as planned.
Devgn also recalled a similar near-fatal event that occurred to Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio at the same spot, where the actor was saved only by the quick action of his instructor. This candid account from the celebrated action hero sheds light on the extreme risks involved in the cinematic action industry.
