The Tamil film industry is mourning the loss of Mohini, the mother of popular actor Ajith Kumar, who died in Chennai on Saturday morning. Mohini died of old age.
Mohini had been treated for health problems at a private hospital in Chennai for some time, according to the family. She had been suffering from several medical complications for some time now. But her condition deteriorated, and she died peacefully, surrounded by family members.
The news has been devastating for Ajith Kumar and his family. The actor, who has been working on both film projects and racing cars in Dubai, was already in Dubai when he got the sad news. Ajith, said family members, immediately made preparations to come back to Chennai to be there with his family and to go through the final rites.
This is the second major personal loss for the actor in a relatively short period. Ajith Kumar’s father, P. Subramaniam, died in 2023 (which the family had been coming to terms with), but Mohini’s death has taken them to sorrow again. Those close to the actor have often said that he had a very strong bond with his parents, and they played a huge part in his life and career.
Ajith Kumar’s journey in Tamil cinema is one of perseverance and determination. A former film industry aspirant, he has always referred to his family as his heroes who supported him through the difficulties of his career. Not only did he achieve so much, but so did his family and the people who supported him.
As news of Mohini's death spread, condolences began to pour in from the entertainment industry and social media. Many actors, filmmakers and fans offered their love and comfort to the grieving family. Messages like "May her soul rest in peace" and "Heartfelt condolences to Ajith Kumar and his family" have flooded social media, showing admiration for the actor and his family as well.
Mohini’s funeral will take place on Sunday in Chennai. Mohini’s family members, relatives, close friends and industry colleagues will attend the last rites to pay their last respects. His fans have also shown their solidarity with the actor during this difficult period.
Mohini's passing marks the end of a chapter in the life of one of Tamil cinema's biggest stars. And if the family is very much in love with the actor, it is also very much in touch with millions of fans who have followed Ajith Kumar's journey. And the actor and all concerned have been receiving messages of support from all over the country.
