The Passing of Mohini Mani
Tamil cinema has lost a beloved mother figure. Ajith Kumar’s mother, Mohini Mani, passed away on Saturday morning in Chennai at the age of 85. Reports suggest she had been battling age-related health issues for some time before her death. The news has left the actor and his family in mourning.
Family’s Recent Losses
This tragedy comes just three years after the death of Ajith’s father, P. Subramaniam, also known as PS Mani, who passed away in March 2023 at the same age of 85. The coincidence of both parents dying at the same age has been noted in several reports. Ajith, who is also a professional racer, has always maintained a low profile about his personal life, but this loss has deeply affected those close to him.
Condolences Pour In
Condolences have been pouring in from across the film industry and political sphere. Veteran actor Kamal Haasan expressed his grief, while Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin also offered his heartfelt condolences. Many other celebrities took to social media to share their sympathies with the Thunivu star. The funeral arrangements are expected to be private, respecting the family’s privacy.
