Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn remembered his father Veeru Devgan on his first death anniversary with a heartfelt video. He was a popular action director and stunt choreographer in the industry and had passed away due to cardiac arrest on May 27th last year.

However, I can feel you beside me—quiet, caring, protective; your presence is forever reassuring"
Ajay Devgn was very close to his father and considered him his guru. He even credits his Bollywood career to him as it is said that Veeru Devgan always wanted Ajay to be a superstar in Bollywood. The stunt director even started training Ajay from the early days so that he can enter the showbiz.
