Here comes the 44th birthday of actor Ajith a super star at the box office, a super special personality in the Tamil film industry and a darling of the masses. The man of marvelous glories has completed 55 films in the industry and remains an unshakable star for more than two decades now. His latest film YennaiArindhaal` directed by GauthamVasudevMenon was not only a super hit but also showcased the star`s potential of carrying a multi dimensioned role of a tough and upright cop, a caring lover and an affectionate father and apart from all a very smart and lovable man.

On the personal front this is a very special birthday for Ajith as this is the first birthday, he will celebrate with his newborn son.

Lot has been told about Ajith`s film career, successes, on screen persona, rise to stardom and tremendous fan following. To make a difference Indiaglitz comes up with a list of qualities that the star has displayed on screen and off screen that makes him a really special person, as a tribute to him on his birthday.

Director's Actor

Ajith is certainly in the league of stars who can dictate what should happen in the industry. But Ajith never seems to be giving rules on how his films should be made and what all should be done to suite his image. His latest film`s director GauthamMenon stated that Ajith never wanted anything to be added in the film keeping his image in mind. As a result the film unfurled as a Gautham special with Ajith leading the show.

Equality on-screen

Ajith has never minded his co-actors being given equal prominence in a film even after he became a star. Be it Rajkiran in Kireedom`, ArjuninMankatha`, Aarya in Arrambam` and Arun Vijay of YennaiArindhaal`, these actors were given strong roles to be portrayed in the respective films alongside Ajith.

Encouraging Multi-starrers

At a time when multi-starrers were not so popular or even aversive in Tamil cinema Ajith acted in a quite a few. When he attained stardom in early 2000, he acted in a multi-starrer KandukondeinKandukondein` and that film had an equal weightage for all the three male leads.

Lovable Villain

After Superstar Rajinikanth, no other hero has shined well in negative characters. Ajith has played complete negative characters in quite many films. While Vaali`, Varalaru` Attakasam` and Billa` and positive doubles Mankatha` and Billa` portrayed him as a complete negative element.

Ajith is a star who knows that to be in the good books of the audience one need not be only good` on-screen.

Salt & Pepper, a style statement

Ageing is a natural phenomenon, but actors are always expected to look young. Ajith broke this expectation. He dared to act with the natural colour of his hair and became the first actor to sport original Salt & Pepper look in Tamil screen. Now it is a style statement and even youngsters are following it.

Success and Failure are two sides of a coin

Ajith is the actor who never takes his success to his head nor gets dejected and blame other factors for his failures. He has had his share of flops, but has never spoken bad of anyone associated with his flopped films. He has not even regretted doing such films.

Likewise, he has remained calm and composed during success. Even after giving blockbusters he has never boasted off about them.

Family First

How much ever busy in his profession Ajith always makes it a point to give thencessary attention and affection to his cute little family that consists of his overturned wife Shalini, daughter Anoushka and the latest addition, his newborn son.

He took extreme care of his wife all times and even took a break from committing films during the delivery time of his wife. He has been nurturing his daughter like an ideal father. Now there is another member to share such an affection in the form of the couple`s son.

Caring Boss

No one easily gets care from a boss, but Ajth`sstaff are exceptional. They are being very well taken care of by their master. At many instances the actor has helped them when a need arises. And without anyone asking for it, Ajith built individual homes for his staffs entirely at his expense and presented to them.

Simple As a Man

He may be the one of the top stars in the industry, but Ajith has always remained a simple star. Many of his co-actors have mentioned that Ajith will be the first person to tell a hi` when they meet anywhere. He also makes it a point to promptly reply to the messages sent by anyone known to him.

There is another beautiful incident to explain the star`s simplicity. Once Ajith and his friend were traveling in a car at a late night time, in Chennai. The car stopped and either of the two had to get down and push the car. Ajith made his friend to try starting up the car and he got down and pushed it for some distance.

Stays Away From Politics

Even some budding stars have an eye on political benefits or do things keeping their future political plans in mind But Ajith has always stayed away from politics. He has never ever tried to turn his enormous fan base as a political force. He has also avoided getting along with politicians in power but has always accorded the due respect for them.

Unmatched Boldness

Ajith has displayed tremendous boldness uncharacteristic of stars who will have to be diplomatic and tread their path cautiously. Ajith had the enough gut to question the NadigarSangam forcing artistes to participate in events organized by them. And what more, he did it in front of that day`s Chief Minister in a function organised to felicitate the CM.

He also dismantled his fan club which no actor has done before.

Care for Fans

Ajith has always exhibited a genuine care for his fans. He has always insisted that his fans should just watch his film, enjoy and move ahead. He also insists them to respect his critiques and the fans of other actors. He teaches them values like dignity and encourages them to achieve in life and do good for their respective families.
