Mumbai, May 17: Actress Mahima Chaudhry said Ajay Devgn is her most caring co-star because of how he treated her after a car accident that left her face severely injured.

She revealed that it was Ajay Devgn who encouraged her to visit a plastic surgeon for her scars.

During her appearance on "The Kapil Sharma" show, when host Kapil Sharma asked about the most caring co-star, Mahima named Ajay Devgan, saying, "He was the producer of the film when I had the accident, and he took me to the right person. You know, otherwise, any other producer during our times, they would have just said go and all that. I would have gotten my face stitched from anyone, but he said that you have to go to a plastic surgeon."

Refreshing your memory, during the shoot of the film "Dil Kya Kare", co-starring Ajay Devgn and Kajol, in Bangalore, Mahima's car collided with a milk truck coming from the wrong direction. The crash shattered the car's windows, leading to the glass shards piercing Mahima's face.

During another media interaction, Mahima revealed that her co-star and producer, Ajay Devgn, along with director Prakash Jha, were incredibly supportive of her during the challenging time in her life.
