Ajay Devgn Reveals Why He Mutes His Family WhatsApp Group: ‘Itni Zyaada Bakwaas... I Need Peace Too
Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn, known for his stoic expressions, intense roles, and minimalistic charm, has once again proven that behind the larger-than-life screen persona lies a hilariously relatable husband and dad. In a recent interview, the Drishyam actor shared a nugget of personal life that had fans and netizens laughing out loud — he has his family WhatsApp group with wife Kajol and their kids permanently on mute.
The reason? In his own words:
“Itni zyaada bakwaas hoti hai us group mein... kabhi shayari, kabhi memes, kabhi meaningless forwards — main pagal ho jaata hoon”
(There’s so much nonsense on that group — from poetry to memes to meaningless forwards — it drives me crazy)
A Glimpse Into the Devgn Household Dynamics
Ajay Devgn, Kajol, and their children — Nysa and Yug — may be a high-profile Bollywood family, but at their core, they’re like any other desi household: full of taang-kheechai (teasing), jokes, banter, and an overflow of WhatsApp messages.
According to Ajay, Kajol is the undisputed “content curator” of the group. “She’ll send 10 memes before breakfast, reply with emojis no one understands, and then add a dramatic quote from some random book,” he joked. His daughter Nysa, too, contributes with Gen-Z humor, sarcastic one-liners, and Instagram reels, while little Yug floods the chat with cricket scores and emojis.
“Main chup chaap padhta hoon kabhi kabhi... lekin notifications off rakhna zaroori hai,” said Ajay, hinting at how he values his peace amidst the daily family madness.
Fans React: “Relatable AF”
Social media couldn’t get enough of this revelation. Fans from across age groups chimed in saying they too had muted their own family groups — citing similar reasons:
-
“Too many good morning messages with flowers!”
-
“I joined to stay connected, now I stay muted to stay sane.”
-
“Ajay sir is living every dad’s truth!”
The statement added another layer to Ajay’s already admired persona — one that’s grounded, self-aware, and quietly funny. In a world of curated celebrity images, this candid confession felt refreshingly honest.
Kajol’s Clapback: “Wait Till I Make My Own Group Without You”
Kajol, known for her fiery wit and unfiltered interviews, wasn’t far behind in her response. In a cheeky Instagram Story soon after Ajay’s comment went viral, she posted a meme that read:
“My husband has muted me. Time to make a new group: ‘Kajol & Kids 2.0 – No Dads Allowed.’”
Fans applauded the couple’s relatable banter and admired how even after over two decades of marriage, their humor and friendship remain strong.
The Deeper Truth Behind the Laughs
While this revelation may seem light-hearted, it’s a window into how even the biggest stars navigate everyday life. From work pressures to parenting, to carving out personal time — even Ajay Devgn seeks balance, and muting a buzzing WhatsApp group is one simple way to do it.
It also highlights a growing modern family trend: digital fatigue. With constant notifications, never-ending forwards, and meme overload, muting group chats has become the new-age way to preserve mental peace — even among the closest of families.
Ajay Devgn, usually known for his action-packed films and intense roles, just gave fans a blockbuster dose of real-life comedy. His muted WhatsApp group is a reminder that even in the world of glitz and glam, the daily chaos of family never changes — it just comes with a few more emojis and dramatic reactions.
So the next time your family group starts spamming “Good Morning” messages at 6 AM, just remember — even Singham himself had to hit “Mute”
