Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty graced the latest episode of 'Koffee With Karan 8'. The duo who has a friendship dating back 33 years have one major thing in common between them. They both have their roots in action. Ajay's father Veeru Devgan and Rohit's father M.B Shetty were both fight choreographers of Hindi cinema. Their legacy is being carried forward in all glory by their sons. 

On the show hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, the three men spoke about the legacy of their respective fathers. Ajay spoke about his father's humble beginnings and how he navigated through different careers to survive before he became a noted action director. The 'Singham' star revealed that his father left his hometown in Punjab at the age of 13 for Mumbai without a train ticket. He spent time behind bars as well. He didn’t have any work and was thus unable to feed himself. Ajay revealed that someone offered his father the job of washing a car and in return, he could sleep in the car.
