He delivers with such ease that his pain is carefully disguised by his verve to stay true to his profession. He said, “I went through a very bad phase in life. It was destiny and one can’t fight against it. I have moved on and my family has really supported me to overcome this incident. I hope no one goes through this trauma.” Sukesh Motwani, Creative head, Zee TV, said, “I am amazed with his confidence and the spirit with which he is back to take the challenge. Ajay ji is a fine Marathi actor and one would have definitely missed him if he wouldn’t have made a comeback. I, on behalf of the channel, wish him all the very best.”
