Ajith’s open talk on his real and reel life
Ajith‘s magnum opus ‘Billa 2‘ is gearing up for a big release come June. The team is busy running from pillar to post for the audio release & post production work. But the Thala, as its quite to one and all believes that his film should do the talking and leaves it to his judges – audience, to accept the film or not and refrains from promos.
When a media house quizzed him of what criticism bothers him the most, this is what he had to say:
“You can of course review whether a film is good or bad, but few get personal and comment that I’m fat. After 15 operations my metabolism has changed entirely. I consider that me walking with my two legs as a big deal. I’m very, very thankful for it. I may not be a good dancer, but I’m trying. Even after so many operations I’m jumping off a helicopter, I’m fighting…. But it’s always that few get personal and comment about my looks which dishearten me….”
Ajith who dropped out of school further urged his fans to pay attention to education, “Never lose your self respect for anyone. Give your 100 per cent towards your work. Please study well. I studied only till 10th standard. I have struggled a lot and that route is really difficult. I needn’t have struggled so much if I studied well. Live and let live”.
