It's hard to make a judgement call on ugly especially when the person concerned is an artist or performer. They carry a different aura around them and acquire charisma by default of what they do for a living (not all, but quite a few do).
To continue with the Ajay Devgan example - there's no universal consensus on Devgan's looks either. He's considered conventionally unattractive, but has a sense of self-assurance, commanding screen presence and talent. Which means that on the whole he may be very ugly to many, and yet very attractive to some.

I think I read someone mention around here of how some women find Ajay's lazy walk sexy - and I thought, what an odd thing to latch on to 😆. But it's hard to understand why these little quirks may be so sexy to some and completely meaningless to others.

Personally I find internet trolling fun so make fun of an actor's looks by all means. Just remember that your views will not be universally shared.

TLDR: Beauty in the eyes of the beholder.

I don't think anyone deserves to be ridiculed. But if the question is why we tend to be different and biased towards "bad" (subjective of course) looking actors...
Well we project a bit of ourselves onto the characters we see on screen, that is we vicariously live through them. So it's natural we expect them to look perfect and have perfect hair because we are highly insecure and want at least our projections to look good.

But then again if they are too perfect we can't relate at all and sometimes looking "mediocre" (subjective) can add to the appeal because projecting ourselves onto "ugly" or "normal looking" (subjective,subjective) actors is easier and more believable.

With that said. I still don't think anyone should be mocked at for their looks. We don't choose how we look after all.
