Ajith Kumar's first-ever interview after his racing victory: Here's what the 'Vidaamuyarchi' actor has to say about fan wars and more

In the 24-hour car racing event held in Dubai, actor Ajith Kumar's team secured third place, bringing pride to India. Following this achievement, numerous political leaders and cinema celebrities have been extending their congratulations to Ajith Kumar on social media. In his first-ever interview with Gulf News after the race, Ajith Kumar's remarks about how toxic social media has become serve as a valuable lesson for many.

Ajith Kumar explained, as someone passionate about motorsports, I find sports and travel to be invaluable aspects of life. They not only recharge and motivate me but also teach invaluable lessons. Sports, in particular, are the ultimate leveler, offering more losses than wins and teaching grace in handling both. I often tell my children that while education and communication skills are vital, real learning comes from engaging in sports and exploring the world. Traveling broadens horizons fosters empathy, and dispels prejudices formed without understanding others’ experiences or cultures. Similarly, sports bring out true character, instilling discipline and resilience. Whether it’s managing fame or failure, life is all about balance, and sports serve as a metaphor for navigating these ups and downs."

The 'Vidaamuyarchi' actor then continued about his passion "Racing, my personal passion, is a disciplined and calculated pursuit. Unlike other activities, it offers no room for mistakes—one moment of distraction can have lifelong consequences. Yet, it’s safer than irresponsible road behavior, which endangers not only the individual but also others. Controlled environments, proper equipment, and trained support teams are essential in motorsports, just as they are in any ambitious venture. Beyond racing, I emphasize the importance of fostering positivity and mental health in our increasingly toxic world. Life is fleeting, and instead of harboring hatred, we should celebrate others' successes and focus on our growth. I encourage my fans to live fully, cherish their lives, and be kind to others. True happiness lies in striving for balance, developing skills to match ambitions, and leaving a legacy of goodwill."

Ajith Kumar has completed work for 'Vidaamuyarchi' and 'Good Bad Ugly' before stepping into the racing track, and he is set to have two releases in three months.
