Ajay, Kajol asked to stay back



One of the most respectable couples of Bollywood, Ajay Devgan and Kajol has been asked to stay back by their close friend cum producer Kumar Mangat from the music launch of his daughter’s debut Haal-E-Dil out of fear that their presence may sideline her daughter's debut in Bollywood and Ajay and Kajol may steal all the attention.

The duo respected Mangat’s thoughts and happily stayed back. Mangat thanked both Ajay and Kajol for not attending the music launch ceremony. Haal-E-Dil music was released last weekend at J W Marriott in Mumbai and many Bollywood personalities attended the function. Mangat’s intention was not to hurt the feelings of the duo but simply asked them to stay back so that their family may not grab all the attention and the music and the debutantes go unnoticed.

Haal-E-Dil is a young love story of college students starring Shekhar Suman’s son Adhyayan Suman and Kumar Mangat’s daughter Amita Pathak. The film is almost ready to roll in theatre. Time will say whether the new pair will win the race of debutantes.
