Ajay Devgn found himself in midst of a controversy after a video of a brawl outside Delhi's Aerocity mall made its way to the Internet. When the video went viral, many claimed that it’s the actor who was beaten up during the brawl. Yes, you read that right. The video has two groups fighting outside the mall which resulted in them flouting COVID protocols. A quarrel broke out between them after one of their vehicles 'slightly touched' the other.

People on social media thought that Ajay was a part of this brawl but as soon as his team got to know about the same, they issued a clarification on the actor’s part and said that he hasn’t traveled to Delhi post the promotion of his last film, Tanhaji-The Unsung Warrior.

The statement reads, "Post the promotion of Tanhaji-The Unsung Warrior in January 2020, Actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgn has not visited Delhi. So media reports of a brawl involving the superstar outside a Delhi pub are absolutely baseless and untrue. We request news agencies and media to please note that Mr. Devgn has been in Mumbai the entire time shooting for Maidaan, MayDay, and Gangubai Kathiawadu and he hasn’t set foot in the Capital in 14 months. Request all media to please cross-check before putting out anything. Spokesperson to Mr. Ajay Devgn."

Here’s the video:

After his team, Ajay has also weighed in to put an end to the confusion and said that these reports are completely baseless. He tweeted, “Some ‘doppelgänger’ of mine seems to have got into trouble. I’ve been getting concerned calls. Just clarifying, I’ve not traveled anywhere. All reports regarding me being in any brawl are baseless. Happy Holi.”
