It’s no secret that actor and director Ramesh Kanna is closely associated with Ajith. During a recent interview, Ramesh Kanna shared a funny incident that took place while filming for 1999 blockbuster ‘Amarkalam’, the film that starred Ajith in the lead role.

In his interaction with Wetalkiess, Ramesh Kanna said, “While working with Ajith in ‘Amarkalam’, I was not aware that he was in love with Shalini. I advised Ajith not to get married to an actress as it usually ends up in a divorce. I even told him to get married to a homely girl, so that his life would be good.”

Ramesh Kanna stated that Ajith smiled and nodded after hearing to his advice. 

The ‘Thodarum’ filmmaker said, “Director Saran who saw me interact with Ajith called me and asked about our conversations. After I told him about my marriage advice to him. Saran immediately told that Ajith and Shalini were in love with each other and sarcastically warned me of consequence. I was shocked and told Saran that I unaware of their relationship.”

With a subtle smile, Ramesh Kanna concluded that he also attended Ajith and Shalini’s wedding that took place the following year.
