Black Hole Prank: Jaaved Jaaferi Reveals Ajay Devgn Secretly Fed Him Bhaang, Thought He Was ‘Giving His Will’
Bollywood’s Wildest Prank: Jaaved Jaaferi’s Terrifying Trip After Unknowingly Consuming Bhaang by Ajay Devgn
In a revelation that has sent shockwaves across the internet and become the talk of Bollywood, veteran actor and dance icon Jaaved Jaaferi recently shared a mind-boggling personal anecdote involving his co-star, the intensely private superstar Ajay Devgn. The incident, which unfolded as an unintended consequence of a celebrity prank, left Jaaferi feeling as though he was on the brink of death, prompting him to call his son to deliver what he described as his ‘last will and testament.’
The revelation, made during a promotional interview for their upcoming film, De De Pyaar De 2, paints a vivid, and frankly terrifying, picture of an experience that Jaaved Jaaferi summed up as ‘falling into a black hole.’ The story not only highlights Ajay Devgn’s mischievous side, which is often hidden behind his intense on-screen persona, but also serves as a cautionary tale about the potent effects of bhaang, a traditional Indian intoxicant.
The Incident: A Mahashivratri Meal Spiked by the Prankster
The context of the ‘prank’ is as intriguing as the fallout. Jaaved Jaaferi, a self-confessed non-drinker and non-smoker, was staying at a hotel with the film unit, likely around the time of the Hindu festival of Mahashivratri or Holi, festivals often associated with the consumption of bhaang in certain parts of India. Speaking to Radio Mirchi, Jaaferi detailed how Ajay Devgn, whom he described as quiet but prone to playing pranks, successfully spiked his food.
“This is the first time I am working with Ajay. He is younger than me, but he is truly a very nice person, very quiet. But he still plays these pranks on people,” Jaaferi began, setting the stage for the dramatic recount. He explained that the incident took place during a Mahashivratri gathering at their hotel where a lot of food was available, and he, innocently unaware of the hidden ingredient, ‘ate heartily.’
The ‘Black Hole’ Experience: A Near-Death Feeling
Jaaferi recalled that the substance did not take effect immediately. The onset of the drug’s potent psychoactive properties hit him during a casual conversation about a ‘very deep’ topic. The sudden shift in his reality was alarming and disorienting. He abruptly told the person he was speaking with that he thought ‘something is wrong, and I need to go to the room.’
What followed was a profound and frightening psychological experience. Jaaved Jaaferi described the sensation as being pulled into an abyss. “Suddenly, I start feeling this whole thing. I was having a conversation with someone, and it was about something very deep. Suddenly, I start feeling this whole thing,” he recounted. The most chilling part of the narrative is the quote that has now gone viral: he felt ‘like falling into a black hole.’
In a state of extreme panic and disorientation, the actor genuinely believed he was dying. His immediate reaction was to contact his family. He elaborated on the gravity of his fear, stating, “I called my son, like I was giving my will.” This moment underscores the severity of the reaction, transforming a mischievous celebrity prank into a deeply personal and terrifying ordeal for the actor.
Ajay Devgn: Bollywood’s Quiet Prankster
Ajay Devgn, known for his intense gaze and reserved demeanor, is perhaps one of the last actors one would associate with such elaborate and high-stakes pranks. Yet, the story confirms a little-known side of the superstar—that of a mischievous prankster who enjoys a good laugh at the expense of his co-stars. This incident is now part of a growing catalogue of backstage stories that reveal the lighter side of the often-serious actor.
In Bollywood lore, practical jokes on set are common, especially during the festive season. However, Devgn’s choice of bhaang, an intoxicating edible preparation made from cannabis leaves and buds, is a significantly stronger element. While the intention was clearly light-hearted, the severity of Jaaferi’s reaction highlights the unpredictable nature of such substances, particularly for someone who has no history of consuming intoxicants.
The Professional and Personal Bond: Beyond the Pranks
Despite the extreme nature of the prank, the anecdote was shared in a good-natured manner, suggesting that it is a story they now laugh about. This speaks volumes about the professional camaraderie and personal bond that has developed between the two actors, especially while working on the sequel to the hit romantic comedy De De Pyaar De.
De De Pyaar De 2: A Reunion of Talent
The two actors have recently shared screen space in De De Pyaar De 2, alongside Rakul Preet Singh, R. Madhavan, and Jaaved Jaaferi’s son, Meezaan Jafri. The film, which continues the narrative from the first installment, has brought two generations of Bollywood talent together. Jaaferi, a respected figure in the industry, especially celebrated for his exceptional dancing skills as the host and judge of Boogie Woogie, found himself working closely with Devgn.
Interestingly, the recent promotional tour for the film also revealed another facet of Jaaferi’s life—his nervousness about sharing the screen with his talented son, Meezaan. Ajay Devgn himself had commented on how conscious Jaaved Jaaferi was about being upstaged by his son during the shooting of the song ‘3 Shaukk,’ constantly asking the crew if Meezaan was performing better than him. This vulnerability from Jaaferi, juxtaposed with the ‘black hole’ story, paints a picture of a celebrated actor who, beneath the star image, is prone to both genuine fear and parental pride.
The Cultural Significance of Bhaang and Holi
The consumption of bhaang is historically and culturally linked to Indian festivals, most notably Holi (the festival of colors) and Mahashivratri. On Holi, it is consumed as a celebratory drink, often mixed into a cooling beverage called Thandai or prepared as an edible paste. However, its potent effects are well-known, and stories of individuals having extreme, disorienting experiences after consuming it are common, even among those who partake willingly. For a teetotaller like Jaaved Jaaferi, the experience was amplified manifold.
While celebrity pranks are a staple of entertainment news, the unauthorized spiking of food with such a potent substance, even in a festive context, has sparked a debate among fans and commentators. While some see it as a harmless, albeit over-the-top, Holi prank, others have pointed out the potential health risks and the moral line crossed by administering a drug without consent. However, Jaaferi’s choice to recount the incident with humor suggests the chapter has been closed between the two stars, cementing it as an extreme, unforgettable, and highly viral anecdote from their time working together.
The ‘black hole’ experience has given fans a rare glimpse into the off-screen dynamics of Bollywood’s biggest stars and a memorable story that will undoubtedly be retold for years to come. Jaaved Jaaferi’s terrifying trip, orchestrated by the seemingly innocent Ajay Devgn, is a testament to the unpredictable nature of Bollywood sets and the extreme lengths to which some stars will go for a laugh.
