In a recent revelation, actor Ajith Kumar recounted a startling incident from early in his career involving an overzealous fan. The actor shared that, during a meet-and-greet session in 2005, an 18-year-old fan slashed his palm with a blade while shaking his hand.
Ajith made the disclosure during an interview, detailing the often-unpredictable nature of fan interactions. He explained that, in the rush of such events, it's common for numerous people to reach out, all wanting to touch or shake hands. It was in one of these moments that he felt a sharp pain and realized he had been cut. "It happens very often," he stated, matter-of-factly, suggesting that this was not an isolated incident. The actor also indicated that he bears scars on his hands from similar occurrences.
The incident highlights the intense adoration and sometimes misguided actions of fans. While most interactions are positive, this event serves as a reminder of the potential risks that celebrities face when engaging with the public. Ajith's willingness to share such a personal and potentially disturbing experience provides a glimpse into the realities of fame and the challenges of navigating the fine line between appreciation and obsession.
