Ajith Kumar, one of Tamil cinema's most respected actors, has recently addressed the increasing use of the "Kadavuley Ajithey" slogan by his fans. Despite his immense popularity, Ajith prefers to maintain a humble and low-key profile, asking to be addressed simply by his name or initials.
The slogan "Kadavuley Ajithey," translating to "God is Ajith," has been fervently chanted by fans in public places and even at religious events, spreading from India to countries like Russia and Denmark. However, Ajith has expressed his discomfort with such exaltations and has requested his fans to refrain from using this slogan.
In a statement released through his publicist, Ajith remarked, "I am uncomfortable with superlatives or any kind of prefix mentioned alongside my name. I prefer being addressed by my name or my initials. I take this opportunity to request all those who indulge in this slogan shouting practice in public places to stop this with immediate effect and restrain themselves from doing so ever again. My sincere request to everyone is to work hard, play hard without hurting anyone, look after your respective families, and be law-abiding citizens. Wishing you all and your respective families a beautiful life!"
Ajith's request aligns with his lifelong motto of "Live and Let Live," which has always resonated with his fans. This appeal to avoid the "Kadavuley Ajithey" slogan further underscores his grounded nature and respect for simplicity.
Ajith Kumar's fans have respected his previous requests, such as when he disbanded his fan clubs and dropped the "Thala" title in 2021. It remains to be seen how this new plea will be received by his admirers, but it’s clear that Ajith values a humble and straightforward connection with his fans.
