Ajith Kumar surprises fans over video call

Ajith Kumar called his biker friend's children over a video call to greet them.

An Instagrammer posted a video with a picture of Ajith and another man in biking gear, holding their helmets, in the thumbnail. The video begins with the text, “When your dad’s friend’s list surprises you.” The video shows Ajith surprising her and her brother over a video call. She posted it with the caption, “Not me smiling throughout the call (sobbing and pink heart emojis).”

The video begins with Ajith asking what she does and her replying where she studies. He says he will definitely meet them in person next time, and she inquires about his life. “God bless you all, wish you a beautiful life,” says Ajith in the video. The video shows Ajith chatting with the kids while their father sat next to him. It ends with her and her brother jumping in excitement after they’re done with the call.

Ajith has been active in films since the 1990s and, after decades in cinema, returned to racing in 2024, having initially competed in the early 2000s. Since then, he has been vocal about working in films only when he has a break during the racing season. While fans expected him to make an announcement about his new film this year, they’re still waiting. He was last seen in Vidaamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugly in 2025.

Ajith is married to former actor Shalini and has two children with her, Anoushka and Aadvik. He recently faced a personal loss when his mother, Mohini Mani, died on May 30 at the age of 89. The family requested privacy as they grieved their loss in a statement. His father, P Subramaniam, also known as PS Mani, died in 2023. Ajith returned to racing earlier this month.
