She appeared in numerous Hindi Kannada Telugu Tamil and Malayalam films. It was one of the most exciting pairings in southern cinema history. Ajith and Heena's relationship was so intense that they were destined for marriage.

While filming Kadhal Kottai Ajith Kumar and Heera got to know one another. But after the release of the movie Thodarum their romance came to an end and the two stars split up. Although the exact cause of their breakup is still unknown it is claimed that Ajith was not pleased with Heera's altered behavior.

On the sets Ajith Kumar reportedly penned notes to Heera. Bayilvan Ranganathan a well-known Tamil character artist had read one of the former couple's love letters. According to reports Heera's mother opposed their union because she didn't want her daughter's career to suffer at such a young age.

Ajith Kumar's Wife Shalini Kumar

Ajith Kumar’s wife’s name is Shalini Kumar. A tragic incident brought Ajith Kumar and Shalini together after they had met on the Amarkalam set in the year 1999. Ajith was assigned a role to perform opposite his co-star Shalini on the filming locations for Amarkalam. In order to scare the heroine Shalini the hero Ajith had to act as though he had cut her hand with a knife during the scene. 

However the actor injured her by unintentionally cutting her hand with the knife. Surprisingly the two responded to the occurrence in completely different ways. Ajith was upset at his clumsy error. On the other hand Shalini maintained her composure. During the entire film shoot he took care of her. Since then a love affair had begun between the two. 

But that wasn't the couple's first encounter. At the launch of the film Kaadhal Mannan Shalini had ran into Ajith Kumar. Shalini was a little irritated by Ajith's remark on her hairstyle at their first encounter.

The pair had kept their relationship a secret from the public and the media. According to sources Ajith Kumar had stayed away from the actress in person because her parents used to visit her on the sets. Ajith had given his lady love a code name according to a story in India Glitz by Shalini's Niram co-star Kunchako Boban. Ajith used to say Sona AK-47 Calling whenever he called Kunchako's mobile number. In the movie Niram Sona was the name of Shalini's character. According to rumors Ajith left Shalini blushing on the Amarkalam set when he asked director Saran to complete the film in one schedule because he was having trouble not falling in love with his co-star.

 

Ajith Kumar and Shalini got married on 24th April 2000. Celebrities from superstar Rajnikanth to actor Prashanth were all there at their elegant wedding which was attended by a large number of prominent individuals. Shalini left the film industry at the height of her success. She had believed that she couldn't manage both her acting job and household duties. She had previously stated that she did not regret leaving her career behind because her husband Ajith's company was more important to her.

Ajith Kumar and his wife Shalini had embraced parenthood for the first time in the year 2008. On January 3 2008 the couple welcomed a baby girl into the world. Shalini and Ajith have given her the name Anoushka. After some time on March 2 2015 the couple welcomed their second child into the world. Aadvik was the name they had given to their son.

Ajith Kumar allegedly made a vow to his wife Shalini that he would never sign for more than one movie at a time and that he would spend 15 days at home with his family then use the remaining 15 days for filming. And Ajith has maintained his word for the past 21 years evidence of this can be seen in the entertaining photos of the devoted father Ajith enjoying time with his children.

The movie a Boney Kapoor production centers on a bank heist as its main narrative. Following the most recent schedule Ajith is anticipated to begin work on his following film which will be directed by Vignesh Shivan.

About Ajith Kumar's Racing Career

As a racing driver Ajith Kumar competed on circuits all around India including those in Mumbai Chennai and Delhi. He is one of the very few Indians who compete in Formula championships and the international racing scene. Additionally he has attended races in Malaysia and Germany while abroad. He participated in the BMW Formula Asia Championships in 2003. He competed in the 2010 Formula 2 Championship alongside fellow Indians Parthiva Sureshwaren and Armaan Ebrahim.

Ajith Kumar signed a contract with manager Akbar Ebrahim after competing in one race at the Formula Maruti Indian Championships in 2002 and placing fourth. This agreement confirmed his participation in the first Formula BMW Asia series. Ajith finished the season by placing 12th despite spinning out during the opening lap of his debut race.

Ajith Kumar returned to auto racing in 2010 by entering the FIA Formula Two Championship for his third season after a six-year hiatus. Ajith made the choice to take up the activity after the release of his Gautham Vasudev Menon-directed movie was postponed allowing him to take part in the entire season. He participated in the MRF racing series' championship race in Chennai in February 2010 prior to joining but he was unable to finish the race because of mechanical issues. As he prepared for the start of the season in April 2010 in his Formula Renault V6 car with Eurasian Racing he conducted more trials in Sepang Malaysia losing 11 kg throughout training.

Controversies

Valimai Controversy

Fans of Ajith Kumar celebrated and cheered over Valimai's release. Instead of being released on streaming services the movie was shown in theatres where it received excellent reviews and did well financially. According to the reports H Vinoth the filmmaker and Boney Kapoor the producer have both been reported to the police. The Chennai Police Commissioner's Officer had received a complaint from the lawyer association which asked for proper action. According to a complaint made by a lawyer by the name of Shanthi the movie misrepresents lawyers and action should be taken.

Disowning the Thala Title

In a statement Ajith Kumar rejected the honorific title that his admirers and the cinema industry had bestowed upon him. He has asked that his name not be referred to as Thala or with any other superlative prefixes by the media or his supporters. Ajith's 2001 film Dheena is where he received the moniker Thala. Ajith Thala which means chief or a superior one is the name of one of the supporting characters during a song sequence. And in Tamil cinema that moniker has since come to be synonymous with the actor. Ajith has always attempted to carry himself as an average person despite his flamboyant on-screen character.

The Felicitation Ceremony of M. Karunanidhi

Back in February 2010 Ajith Kumar offended some members of the film business. He has spoken out against several Kollywood actors who demanded that celebrities attend their events if they wanted the film business to support their projects. Ajith made the remark as the then Chief Minister was present at an event organised by Kollywood to honour the late M Karunanidhi for granting property in Kancheepuram to worthy members of the film industry.

Ajith Kumar however had made it clear that he was going to the award ceremony out of respect for M Karunanidhi. Rajinikanth gave him a standing ovation for his remark while many other people at the Nehru Stadium were unsure of how to respond. Ajith received criticism from a certain group of businesspeople as was to be expected. The rumor at the time was that Rajinikanth had protected Ajith because certain DMK members wanted Ajith Kumar to learn a lesson for being brave enough to express his opinion in front of their beloved leader. Later Ajith personally visited M Karunanidhi's home to share his perspective on the matter.
