After the death of his mother Mohini, fans have revisited some of the rare occasions when Ajith Kumar spoke about his family publicly. Ajith is known for keeping his personal life out of the limelight and rarely discusses his parents during interviews. Unlike many celebrities who frequently share their family stories, the actor has always preferred to keep it private.
This is one of the reasons why his old comments about his mother and father have resurfaced and are now being shared widely among fans and well-wishers who are mourning Mohini’s loss.
Ajith once spoke about his mother’s background and upbringing
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Ajith spoke about his family roots and childhood. Ajith informed that his father, P Subramaniam, hails from a Tamil family, and his mother, Mohini, belongs to the Sindhi community. This is why Ajith informed that he never spoke Tamil fluently due to the mixed background of his family.
According to him, he initially had difficulties speaking Tamil and even spoke with an accent when he joined the Tamil film industry. But through hard work, he managed to master the Tamil language and is now one of the best actors in the Tamil film industry.
Parents encouraged Ajith’s passion for it Car racing
Ajith also fondly remembers how his parents supported his dream of becoming a car racer. In an interview with Mathrubhumi English, the actor pointed out that car racing was an expensive sport and his family did not have the financial means to fully fund it.
However, he said his father made it very clear that even though they might not be able to support him financially, nothing would come between him and what he wanted to do.
It was a way to highlight the encouraging and nurturing environment he had while growing up, which enabled him to achieve his dreams without hesitation.
A heartfelt memory of Ajith that fans will never forget
These age-old musings took on a new and profound meaning as condolences from the film and millions of fans poured in for Mohini Mani. Although Ajith is very protective of his private life, his rare public comments about his parents have always been grounded in deep gratitude, respect and unconditional love.
