"It was during the shoot of "Jana", that I first had a chance to rub shoulders with The Legend "Thalai". During those days, to me a cantervan was something that I have never seen or heard of and I was always excited whenever Ajith Sir used to invite me to his Cantervan during breaks. He used to offer me his food and we used to spent our spare time in the van telling him stories and cracking jokes. He was all ears and would laugh and be doleful too when I revealed certain comical as well as serious incidents in my life and how I always got into a fix due to certain acts on my part done without forethought, prudence or perspicacity. This was a routine during the shoot then. I was doing a minor role in the movie as a villain and yet Ajith Sir treated me like we have known each other for years and we had a strong bond. He even told me that relations are not build on one's status in society but on humane grounds. This was something that I never expected from a star of his stature. Many years have passed and a great many events have occurred since. It was during the shoot of the Mohanlal Sir starring "Marikkar" that I was surprised to see "Thalai" in our set and was shocked when I saw him make a beeline towards me. I was taken aback and was at a loss of words when he came and took my hand in his and started sharing pleasantries. I was dumbfounded for a while and he too realized that I was trying to regain my composure. This was something that I never expected. I wish well for this wonderful human being and also wish that his upcoming movie "Valimai" becomes a super duper hit. Best of Luck and God bless you Ajith Sir. "
