Ajith Kumar’s old statement about Vijay resurfaces after Silverstone meeting
Ajith’s comments have gained renewed attention following his encounter with Vijay at the Michelin Le Mans Cup at the Silverstone Circuit in Northampton, UK.Talking about his equation with Vijay, Ajith had earlier dismissed the notion of the two actors being enemies and acknowledged the competition between them as a natural part of the profession.“Sir, we are never enemies. We definitely have competition within us. In any field, there is competition, jealousy, etc. But on a personal level, if there is someone who does not affect anyone, that is a healthy thing. So, just as you have competition within you, we also have competition within us. But there is nothing personal. So we are definitely not enemies,” Ajith had said.The statement has resurfaced online after the actors’ latest interaction at Silverstone.
