South Indian superstar Ajith Kumar is passionate about racing and acting. He was recently in Barcelona, ​​Spain, racing. There, he spoke about how he gave up family time to pursue a career in motor sports. According to him, his wife has been very supportive of him.

In a conversation with India Today, Tamil actor Ajith Kumar admitted that he is interested in racing. His wife has been very supportive of him and has supported him in everything. He said, "There are many things my wife Shalini has taken care of. If she hadn't supported me, I wouldn't have been able to do all this. In my absence, she looked after my home and took care of my children. I wasn't the only one who made the sacrifice." The kids barely see me. I miss them as much as they miss me. When you love something so much, you have to sacrifice for it.

Ajith Kumar explained that when he married Shalini in 2002, he focused heavily on racing. Shalini accompanied him to every event. When the children were born, he focused on them. Speaking about his children, he said, "My son also loves it. He's started racing, but he's not very serious about it. I'll give him time to think about whether he really wants to pursue it. Whether it's films or racing, I don't want to impose my ideas on him."

Ajith and Shalini met on the sets of the film "Amarkalam" in 1999. They dated before marrying in 2000. Shalini has acted in several films. She took a break from films to raise her children. Ajith was last seen in the films 'Vidhamuyarchy' and 'Good Bad Ugly' this year.
