wore a face-covering cap to visit the Ajmer Shariff dargah in Rajasthan last week.
Says a source close to Ajay, "About ten days ago, Ajay, Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge? cinematographer Aseem Bajaj and the film's producer Amita Pathak were to travel to the dargah at Ajmer Shariff. Due to personal reasons, Ajay couldn't go.
A visit was fixed up for last Wednesday but the dargah authorities requested Ajay not to come as it was among the first ten days of Muharram (considered very auspicious). Hence, the dargah would be very crowded."
This time, though, Ajay was adamant that he had to go. Says the source, "He donned a scarf and a cap and didn't shave for a couple of days and sported a stubble and moustache. At the dargah, his disguise was so complete that when he got down from his car, nobody recognised him.
A posse of 12 security guys and a maulvi from the dargah escorted him inside. It was an auspicious day. Ajay paid obesience and chaddar charana at 8 pm and left soon. In all this time, no one recognised him."
Kumar Mangat says, "Yes it's true that Ajay was in disguise to avoid the huge crowd at the dargah. Even the maulvi who went with him is a very big man there and coordinates all the visits from people in the film industry. Agar humko chadar charana hai toh we inform him from beforehand and pay him through money order."
