Are actors-turned-producers very sensitive to criticism? Why do they get into the defensive mould so easily? Let`s face it, most stars, barring Aamir Khan, have floundered badly.

But Ajay Devgan believes it`s only natural. He was recently heard stating that stars do get very hurt when their ventures fail. But why pick on them alone? "Whoever says he can take criticism is lying," averred Devgan honestly.He definitely feels actors should learn to take failure positively. "When Raju Chacha failed we were hurt wondering what went wrong though we are very proud of it. You have to accept that you goofed up somewhere and accept criticism gracefully.

However you should not be too open about it, otherwise you will stop being criticized and you`ll never learn from your mistakes," he adds.Now that`s some sensible talk. Wish all wannabe stars-turned-producers.
