Guess who fascinated Ajay Devgn on the sets of the Amitabh Bachchan-Rekha starrer Mr Natwarlal way back in 1979? No, it wasn't Mr Bachchan. Instead, Ajay was drawn to a leopard cub at the shooting.

The Bollywood superstar had accompanied his father, action-director Veeru Devgan, to the set and the entire unit couldn't keep him away from the cub. Even during his formative years and long before he decided to become an actor, Ajay was always drawn to wild cats.

One knows about his concern for the conservation of our tigers. One also knows that he is called Singham by kids, especially after Rohit Shetty cast him in that 2011 blockbuster. Now that Singham is all set to return, we thought it would be appropriate to print the actor's favourite photograph with his leopard cub.
