Archana : Hi Ajay, This is Archana. Being a south Indian , did you face any discrimination in the industry, although you were born and raised in North(If i am not wrong).

Astonish : Hi Ajay,I m posting from Tokyo Japan, Here in Japan, Indian movies means movies of Rajnikanth. They are not aware of Bollywood movies. The Japanese people are crazy about music and personalities. If Bollywood can make a stage show, bringing people like Hritik, Fardeen, Yourself and rest all , U can capture a very lucarative market. Its really a fact, Think about and if possible discuss with your colleagues
Ajay Devgan : Sorry, I dont do stage shows
