Actor Ajith and His Passion for Car Racing
Ajith Kumar, a celebrated actor in South Indian cinema, is known not only for his acting skills but also for his diverse talents beyond the screen. Especially passionate about biking and car racing, Ajith has previously achieved notable feats in motorsports. In 2003, he became the first Indian to participate in the prestigious ‘Porsche Series’ race in Monaco, marking his unique position in both the film and sports world. He competed in various racing events until 2010, after which he focused solely on his acting career.
In an exciting comeback, Ajith is now set to participate in the 24H Dubai race in 2025 and the European GT4 Series Championship in the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup Class. This announcement has generated a lot of enthusiasm among his fans, as he is stepping back into the racing world. His participation in this international event is also notable as the Tamil Nadu Sports Development Authority’s (SDAT) logo will be displayed on his race car, helmet, and other equipment, highlighting Tamil Nadu’s prominence on the global sports stage. Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin extended his congratulations to Ajith for representing Tamil Nadu and expressed the state’s commitment to supporting such initiatives, stating, “Together, we will work to uplift Tamil Nadu in the global arena.”
Tamilaga Vetrikalagam: Vijay’s First Political Conference
Another leading figure in Tamil cinema, Vijay, has an immense following and has consistently shown a deep commitment to social causes. Known for his philanthropic work in areas such as education, social justice, and poverty alleviation, he has now formally entered politics through his newly established political party, Tamilaga Vetrikalagam (Tamil Nadu Success League).
The party’s first political conference recently took place in Vikravandi, where fans and supporters gathered from all over Tamil Nadu to witness Vijay’s entry into the political scene. Vijay made a significant appearance, paying tribute to freedom fighters and leaders by offering floral respects. Following this, he interacted with the party officials and later walked across the stage to greet his supporters directly, a gesture that was met with immense applause.
In his speech, Vijay stated, “We do not subscribe to Periyar’s atheism; however, rationalism, social justice, and women’s empowerment are the core values of our party.” This statement sparked widespread discussions and debates. Leaders and supporters from the ruling DMK party voiced strong criticisms of Vijay’s position on Periyar’s ideology, which many in Tamil Nadu regard as foundational to social progress in the state.
Udhayanidhi Stalin and Political Reactions
Following Vijay’s speech, key figures from the DMK, including several ministers and leaders, expressed critical views. Udhayanidhi Stalin commented on the matter, saying, “Our organizational secretary R.S. Bharathi has responded to all points, and I have no further comments.” This restrained response reflects a strategic approach to Vijay’s rising political influence, as DMK chooses not to engage directly but continues to monitor the unfolding developments.
Social Media Buzz
Ajith and Vijay, two of Tamil Nadu’s most influential figures, are making waves in their respective domains. Ajith’s participation in global car racing competitions not only represents his passion but also showcases Tamil Nadu’s sports sector on the international stage. Meanwhile, Vijay’s political journey through Tamilaga Vetrikalagam marks a fresh chapter in Tamil Nadu politics, capturing significant public interest.
Both actors, while coming from different backgrounds, are united in contributing to the social, political, and sports development of Tamil Nadu, and their actions continue to resonate across various sectors in the state.
