Ajith Kumar Draws Online Criticism After Fan Seeks Selfie At Le Mans Race
Fan interaction at Le Mans draws criticism over Ajith’s reaction.
Ajith Kumar faced criticism online after a video from the Le Mans Race at the Silverstone Circuit in England appeared to show the actor reacting sternly to a fan who approached him for a selfie. The actor participated in the racing event on Saturday, while the interaction with the fan later drew attention on social media. Several users expressed disappointment over what they perceived as an unfriendly response.
In the video, a fan approaches Ajith with a phone in hand, apparently attempting to take a selfie with him. Ajith then stops and looks sternly at the fan while standing with his hands on his waist. His bodyguard subsequently asks the fan to move away. Ajith continues looking in the fan's direction before leaving the area, prompting criticism from some social media users over the interaction.
Several comments questioned the actor's response, with some users arguing that fans play an important role in an actor's popularity. Others felt that the stern reaction was unnecessary, particularly because the fan appeared to be approaching him out of admiration. The criticism remained focused on the brief interaction, with users expressing different views about how celebrities should respond to fans in public settings.

The Le Mans event also became notable for the reunion of Ajith and fellow Tamil cinema star Vijay. Vijay flagged off the race in which Ajith participated, bringing the two prominent actors together at the sporting event. Their appearance attracted attention from international sports commentators, who attempted to explain the scale of their popularity to audiences unfamiliar with Tamil cinema.
Ajith was last seen in Good Bad Ugly, which was described as a box-office success. He is set to appear next in Dare Devil, which will be directed by Adhik Ravichandran and marks his 64th film as a lead actor. His wife, Shalini Ajith Kumar, is set to produce the project under the Brave Hearts Production banner, with shooting reportedly scheduled to begin in late September.
