Anil Kumar, brother of Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar, recently addressed a fan’s question on social media regarding the absence of photographs of the actor from the Padma Bhushan award ceremony held earlier this year. Ajith was honored with the prestigious civilian award for his contribution to Indian cinema, but unlike many others, images of him from the event were notably missing online.

A fan reached out to Anil Kumar, asking why he didn’t share any pictures of Ajith from the ceremony. In response, Anil offered a subtle yet firm explanation. “I had enough reason not to,” he wrote in a brief reply, without elaborating further.

Ajith Kumar, known for maintaining a low profile and staying away from public appearances and social media, has often preferred to keep personal and professional moments private. This recent interaction has sparked fresh conversations among fans, many of whom respect the actor’s desire for privacy while still expressing curiosity about such significant moments in his life.

The government of India announced Ajith Kumar’s Padma Bhushan honor in January 2024, recognizing his decades-long impact on Indian cinema and his philanthropic efforts off-screen.
