Actor Ajith Kumar and his wife, former actor Shalini, prefer to keep their lives private and are reluctant to post pictures of their children, Anoushka and Aadvik, on social media. After Ajith’s mother, Mohini Mani, died last month, the family joined him as he returned to racing. Shalini posted a rare glimpse of Ajith sharing quality time with the children.
A rare glimpse of Ajith Kumar’s children
On Sunday, Shalini posted numerous pictures after the family attended the Le Mans race. One set of pictures showed her and Ajith kissing each other and enjoying lunch on the sidelines of the race. Ajith is seen in his racing uniform in some of the pictures. “Avec mon beau (With my handsome) @LeMans,” wrote Shalini, posting the pictures.
“A little bit of France, a whole lot of love,” wrote Shalini, posting another set of pictures which show the family posing together. The pictures also show their children, Aadvik and Anoushka, holding Shalini close and hugging her.
On Monday, she posted pictures of Ajith kissing their children and receiving kisses in return, writing, “Daddy time.” “Making our feed as wholesome,” wrote one fan, reacting to the pictures. “A man’s biggest victory,” wrote another. One fan even called them the ‘most beautiful family in the world’. “Sweetest on gram today!” read one fan’s comment.
This comes days after Ajith’s mother, Mohini, died on May 30 at the age of 89. She died at a private hospital in Chennai following an illness. Ajith, who was in Dubai at the time of her death, returned to Chennai for her last rites. He returned to work a few days after, with the official account of Ajith Kumar Racing posting his pictures and writing, “Back at work with a heavy heart but life must go on!”
Ajith Kumar’s foray into racing
Ajith debuted as a lead actor in 1993 with Amaravathy. In the early 2000s, he took part in a few championships before returning to cinema. However, in 2025, he launched Ajith Kumar Racing and announced his return to professional racing. Since then, he and his team have competed in numerous championships, despite the actor-racer crashing in some races.
Ajith last starred in the 2025 film Vidaamuyarchi and Good Bad Ugly, with the latter film performing well at the box office. Fans have been waiting for him to announce his next film since then, though he has made it clear that he will only shoot films during the off-racing season.
