He looked back at his incredible journey in cinema- from being an outsider, to now becoming one of South India\u2019s most celebrated actors and a proud recipient of the Padma Bhushan. In his note, he wrote that he faced numerous challenges and setbacks over the years, yet he always got up and kept moving forward. He thanked fans for standing by him and supporting him even when he doubted himself, and was out of sight. He expressed his gratitude to the directors, producers, writer and actors he worked with, in his 33-year acting journey. Moreover, Ajith Kumar also addressed his critics, and wrote that their harshest words have only sharpened him.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">\u201cAs I complete 33 years in this extraordinary journey called cinema, I do not pen this to celebrate. I don\u2019t wait for landmark numbers as I believe that each passing year is a landmark year. I thank you all with a full heart and folded hands. This journey was never easy. I did not come from legacy or influence. I started from the outside, with nothing more than a will to try. Life, in its own way, tested me over and over through injuries, setbacks, failures, and silence. But I never stopped. I endured. I got back up. And I kept moving forward. Because perseverance is not something I learnt; it\u2019s something I lived,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">In his note, he also mentioned his re-entry into the motor racing world. \u201cIn 2025, as I re-entered the motor racing world with Ajith Kumar Racing, it wasn\u2019t just a return to the sport. It was a statement to myself and to anyone who ever doubted that age, fear, and obstacles are real, but so is willpower. To all my fans, I am not what I am without you. You\u2019ve turned admiration into acts of kindness-helping others, standing for what\u2019s right, and honoring my name with quiet dignity. I see you. I thank you. I will never take your love for granted, and never will I trade your love for my benefit,&#8221; wrote Ajith Kumar.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cI thank the president of India Madam Droupadi Murmu, the honourable Prime minister Shri Narendra Modi ji and the government of India for conferring me the prestigious Padma Bhushan award. I am determined enough to offer my best to bring respect to this honour,&#8221; he further added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Addressing his critics, Ajith Kumar wrote, \u201cTo the critics, even your harshest words sharpened me. To Shalini, my wife, the pillar of my life, you have stood with me through everything. My kids, Anoushka, and Advik who bring meaning to every day-you are my balance and my reason. I am grateful to my father, the late P. S. Mani, and my mother, Mohini Mani, for the upbringing that reflects in every social respect I gain today. I am thankful to my brothers and my extended family of my in-laws for their support and love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">He concluding by expressing his gratitude for fans who have accepted him, and thanked them for their faith, applause, patience and love. \u201cAs I pursue my motor racing career with grit and passion I solicit the prayers and wishes from all, I hope I will make you and our nation proud,&#8221; he concluded.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Ajith Kumar has starred in more than 63 films till date. The actor, who had a small role in the 1990 Tamil film En Veedu En Kanavar, debuted as a lead actor in the 1993 film Amaravathi.
