The who’s who of the entertainment industry was in attendance at Ajay Devgn’s father’s funeral and Prime Minister Narendra Modi too has sent a condolence letter to his family to mourn his death.

Ajay shared the letter with his fans and along with it, he wrote, “My Mother & entire Devgan family are deeply touched & humbled in silence by this thoughtful gesture from our Honourable Prime Minister @narendramodi. Thank you Sir.”

The letter is addressed to Ajay’s mother Veena Devgan and it reads:

Smt. Veena Devgan Ji,

I am deeply saddened to learn of the demise of Shri Veeru Devgan who was widely respected for his outstanding work across various domains in the Hindi Film Industry. This is a great loss for the industry.

Shri Devgan worked as a stunt man, action choreographer, director, producer and more. This is the sign of a man who completely dedicated himself to his chosen field and hence, kept discovering new ways of contributing to it.

He was known for his personal daredevilry, for pushing the limits as an action choreographer as well as for being meticulous about the safety of his team. No wonder he was universally loved and respected in the film industry.

There is something deeply moving about people like Shri Devgan who took great personal risks to enthrall audiences in an era of no ‘visual effects’, knowing well that the glory of taking those risks would not be credited to them. It is said that great things can be achieved if we do not care who gets the credit but concentrate on doing the best we can.

Shri Devgan lived this ideal and his contributions to the film industry will be remembered forever.

I convey my deepest condolences to Shri Veeru Devgan’s family, friends, admirers and the film industry as a whole.

May he continue to inspire risk-takers in the world because it is those who take risks that define the direction our world takes.

Om Shanti to the departed soul.

Yours sincerely (Narendra Modi)

In a career spanning over three decades, Veeru Devgan choreographed action sequences for more than 80 films. He had directed stunts for films like Himmatwala, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Jaan, Tridev, Ishq and Laal Badshah to name a few. He marked his directorial debut with 1999 release Hindustan Ki Kasam. The film starred Ajay Devgn, Amitabh Bachchan, Manisha Koirala and Sushmita Sen.
