The mortal remains of actor Ajith's mother were consigned to flames in Chennai on Tuesday. The cremation took place at a private crematorium in the presence of family members and close friends. Ajith, who is known for his low-key lifestyle, was seen visibly emotional as he bid farewell to his mother.
Details of the Cremation
The funeral procession began from the family residence in the morning and proceeded to the crematorium located in the vicinity. The actor's wife, Shalini, and other family members accompanied the body. The cremation was conducted with full traditional rites and rituals.
Condolences Pour In
Fans and well-wishers of the actor have been expressing their condolences on social media. Several celebrities from the Tamil film industry also paid their respects. The news of the demise had spread quickly, and many were seen gathering outside the family home to offer support.
Ajith's mother, who was in her 80s, had been unwell for some time. She had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Chennai. However, her condition deteriorated over the past few days, leading to her demise.
The actor has requested privacy during this difficult time. He asked his fans to remember his mother in their prayers rather than thronging the funeral venue. Despite the request, a sizeable number of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of the last rites.
Ajith, known for his roles in films like 'Mankatha' and 'Viswasam', has always maintained a close bond with his mother. He often credited her for his success and grounded nature. The loss is a personal blow to the actor, who is currently taking a break from film projects.
