Mohini Mani, who was in her late eighties, had been living in Chennai’s Palavakkam neighbourhood. She reportedly passed away peacefully after a prolonged period of declining health.

Vijay also shared a heartfelt condolence message, describing Ajith as a dear friend and expressing sorrow over the loss of a mother who had been a constant source of strength and support throughout her son’s life. His message resonated strongly with fans of both actors, who have often celebrated the mutual respect shared between two of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars.
Trisha’s presence alongside Vijay also became a talking point among fans. The actress, who has shared screen space with both Vijay and Ajith during her career, joined the actor in paying respects to the bereaved family.
Mohini Mani held a special place in Ajith’s personal and professional life. The actor’s charitable initiative, the Mohini Mani Foundation, was named in her honour, reflecting the deep bond they shared. Through the foundation, various social welfare and public awareness activities have been undertaken over the years.
Meanwhile, condolences continued to pour in from across the entertainment industry. Actress Radhikaa Sarathkumar and several other celebrities expressed their sympathies, remembering Mohini Mani’s grace and the influence she had on Ajith’s life.
As family members, friends and admirers gather to bid farewell, the presence of Vijay and Trisha underscored the solidarity within the Tamil film industry, where personal relationships often transcend professional rivalries during moments of loss and remembrance.
On the other hand, Vijay and Trisha’s presence have given fodder to rumour mills which have become working overtime to speculate about their alleged affair even as his divorce proceedings with estranged wife Sangeetha is on.
