Chennai, Aug 6: From a humble beginning to becoming one of Tamil cinema's most celebrated icons, Ajith Kumar has completed 33 remarkable years in the film industry. As tributes poured in from fans and celebrities alike, his wife, actress Shalini Ajith, took to social media to mark the milestone with a moving note that struck a chord across the fandom.
“You haven’t just built a career… you’ve carried people, changed lives, and done it all with grace. I’m so proud of you. Happy 33 years!” Shalini wrote on Instagram, sharing a heartwarming photo with the actor. The emotional tribute quickly garnered attention, with fans flooding the comments section in agreement. One admirer wrote, “Caption is so real, yes he did change lives,” while others praised Shalini for her enduring support through Ajith’s cinematic journey.
Ajith Kumar, who made his first on-screen appearance as a child artist in En Veedu En Kanavar (1990), rose to prominence with his lead debut in Amaravathi (1993 in Tamil) and Prema Pusthakam (Telugu). With over 62 films to his credit, he has consistently proven his mettle with versatile roles and commanding performances.
Not just an actor, Ajith is also known for his deep passion for motorsports, often juggling race tracks with film sets. The star’s humility, coupled with his dashing looks and down-to-earth personality, has earned him a dedicated fanbase across generations.
The power couple recently celebrated another milestone — their 25th wedding anniversary. Ajith and Shalini met on the sets of Amarkalam in 1999 and tied the knot in 2000. The couple is blessed with two children — Anoushka and Aadvik — and continue to be one of the most admired celebrity duos in South Indian cinema.
Marking the special occasion, Ajith also penned an emotional note expressing gratitude to his fans. “I did not come from legacy or influence. I started from the outside, with nothing more than a will to try,” he wrote, reflecting on his journey with humility and heartfelt appreciation.
On the professional front, Ajith was last seen in Good Bad Ugly, helmed by Adhik Ravichandran, which emerged as one of the highest-grossing Tamil films in recent times. While the actor is currently immersed in his racing pursuits, industry buzz hints at a possible reunion with director Ravichandran for an upcoming project, though no official word has been released.
As fans celebrate this monumental 33-year journey, one thing remains certain — Ajith Kumar is not just a star; he’s a symbol of determination, passion, and grace. The man, the myth, the legend — Thala Ajith continues to inspire millions, on and off the screen.
