Ajith’s romantic past with Heera: Thala Ajith is known for his powerful roles and the mysterious aura he maintains by avoiding public events. His career in the 1990s was filled with hit films, and his personal life, particularly his relationship with actress Heera Rajagopal was equally in the spotlight.
Ajith Kumar and Heera Rajagopal’s romance began on the sets of their first film together, “Kathal Kottai.” It was reported that Ajith wrote love letters to Heera during the shooting. Their chemistry was evident, and they worked together again in their second film, “Thodarum.” Their relationship was one of the most talked-about in the South Indian film industry at that time.

However, the love story did not have a fairytale ending. According to reports, a well-known Tamil character artist, Bayilvan Ranganathan, had read one of Ajith’s love letters to Heera. Heera’s mother was opposed to their marriage, fearing it would negatively impact Heera’s career. While the exact reason for their breakup remains unclear, it is believed that Ajith was unhappy with Heera’s changing behavior towards him.
Eventually, Ajith found love again with actress Shalini, whom he married in a grand ceremony in 2000. Shalini, who enjoyed a successful acting career, decided to quit the industry post-marriage. In a 2009 interview with JFW magazine, she mentioned, “I enjoyed acting but Ajith was more tempting. I had no qualms about quitting. I am not the kind of person who could manage a home and an acting career. I was very clear about my priorities and it is very peaceful.”
Ajith and Shalini are now parents to two children, Anoshka and Aadvik, and have built a peaceful life together. Despite his past relationship with Heera Rajagopal making headlines, Ajith’s current life with Shalini showcases a story of enduring love and commitment.
