After the sensational success of Good Bad Ugly, director Adhik Ravichandran was on cloud nine. As part of the celebrations, he caught a show of the film with fans in a theatre and was overwhelmed by the response. Overcome with emotion, Adhik called up Ajith Kumar to share the joy and thank him. But Ajith's reply was nothing short of inspirational. The actor simply said, “The film is a blockbuster now and just forget it. Don’t take the victory to your head or failure to your home. Just leave it and work on your next.”

That single line reflects Ajith’s calm attitude and his balanced approach to fame and failure. No wonder fans are flooding social media with praise, calling it yet another reason to admire their star beyond the screen. His ability to stay detached from both praise and criticism is a quality that truly sets him apart.
