Sonali Bendre & Ajay Devgan Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Diljale; the 2000s to Chori Chori. Sonali Bendre acted in every film; Ajay Devgan acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Sonali Bendre was cast opposite Ajay Devgn in Diljale (1996) only after the original leading lady walked out over creative differences. The role was a last-minute offer, and she accepted it without even reading the full script.
• On the sets of Major Saab (1998), Ajay Devgn — who was also producing the film — personally coached Sonali through the action sequences. She later said he made her feel safe doing stunts she was terrified of, like the train-top fight scene.
• Their pairing in Tera Mera Saath Rahen (2001) was the only time Ajay Devgn played a blind man in a romantic lead role. The film flopped hard, but the blind-man-romance trope was later revisited by other actors — most notably in R... Rajkumar (2013).
• Ajay Devgn and Sonali Bendre never dated or had any rumoured romance off-screen. In fact, during the making of Chori Chori (2003), Sonali was already dating her future husband Goldie Behl, and Ajay was married to Kajol. They kept their sets strictly professional — no gossip, no drama.
• Sonali Bendre once said in a 2003 interview: 'Ajay is the most intense co-star I've worked with. He doesn't talk much on set, but when the camera rolls, he gives you everything. I had to match that energy, or I'd look like a fool.'
