Ajay Devgn, who will soon be seen in Son of Sardaar 2, has been promoting his film quite actively for the past few days and in a new video shared on Archana Puran Singh's YouTube channel, Ajay could be seen having a chat with Archana and her family – husband Parmeet Sethi and sons Ayushmaan and Aaryamann. During this chat, when Ajay was asked if his family message group was muted, the actor proudly declared so and said that there is always 'bakwas (nonsense)' happening on the group.
As Ajay shared that the group is always muted, he added, 'I don't respond to it.' Archana wondered if his wife, actor Kajol, scolds him for this behaviour, Ajay said that this wasn't the case. 'Itni zyada bakwas chalti hai na aapas mein (There is so much nonsense going on) between the kids and all. I'm not there. No one waits for my response, and no one texts me,' he said.
Archana wondered how Kajol gets in touch with him in case of an emergency and asked, 'How does Kajol get in touch if it's urgent? Does she speak to your manager?' To this, Ajay immediately said that his phone is always available, just the group chat is muted.

In the same chat, Ajay shared that his daughter Nysa is the one behind planning family holidays, but his son Yug feels like it is a waste of money. 'Yug is very chill. Voh bolta hai mujhe ghar se nahi nikalna (He says I don't want to go out). He is like, 'why are you wasting money? Why are you traveling?' He is exactly like me. On most of the holidays, Kajol and Nysa are doing everything and we are chilling,' he said.
Kajol and Ajay have been married for 26 years and in an earlier chat with Mashable India, she shared that the reason behind their successful marriage was 'partial deafness and selective amnesia.' 'Ajay and I are completely different otherwise hum logo ko itne saal nahi lagte (it wouldn't have taken us so long), we would have separated long before,' she said and added, 'I say this quite often that the secret to happy marriage is partial deafness and selective amnesia. You really need to forget certain things about your partner and sometimes unhearing things they said. It is very important.'
