Coming back to the couple, are you aware of the dramatic meeting of Ajith and Shalini?



During the shooting of a scene, the actor had to threaten Shalini with a knife, but by mistake, the knife hit Shalini's hand and she started bleeding. Following this, Ajith took great care of her and this is what made the gorgeous lady fall in love with her then-future husband. 

So, it was the sets of Amarkalam that witnessed the blooming love between the two. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film was a commercial success. 

Ajith Kumar was all out in making his lady feel special. In another incident shared by Ramani Bharadwaj, he said that Ajith wrote a letter to Shalini, incorporating lyrics from the song Unnodu Vazha. It was basically a present from the actor to the love of his life and a subtle way of confessing his love.
