Ajith is the middle son of three, born to a Sindhi mother and Malayalee father. Ajith dropped out of school in 1986 to become a car mechanic. After his surgery for a broken vertebra he lost feeling in his legs, but he took on a vow to recover and walked all the way from his home in Madras to the Balaji shrine in Tirupathi, in Andhra Pradesh. He was a salesman in the garment export business for a while, and also tried a career in modeling. He starred in a few commercial advertisements, which eventually led him to the film industry.
He lost 20 kilos in severe diet and fitness sessions within 20 days for his upcoming film Paramasivan produced by director Bala! He is also called The Phoenix in close circles within the film industry in honour of his resilient comebacks!
In Amarkkalam, he was paired with fellow actress Shalini for the first time. The film was a silver jubilee hit, and Ajith fell in love with his leading lady, who he later married. Ajith is active in spreading awareness of the Green Revolution, an effort to clean up the Chennai environment and encouraging people to plant saplings.
He is a violin artiste while his wife Shalini is an ace photographer.
