Ajith’s career before acting
The Tamil superstar, before becoming an actor, started his career as a mechanic. Due to his father’s wish, he then started working as a business developer for a family friend’s garment exporting company. He then progressed into acting by doing small modeling gigs.
Later, he turned into an actor and also picked up racing, competing in circuits around India in places such as Mumbai, Chennai, and Delhi. He drove in the 2003 Formula Asia BMW Championships. He has also raced in the 2010 Formula 2 Championship as well.
Ajith gifted his riding buddy a BMW F80 GS
The super humble actor also won the hearts of many after it was revealed that he gifted one of his friends a BMW motorcycle. It was stated by one of his riding buddies – Sugat Satpathy – that Ajith gifted him an F850 GS adventure motorcycle worth Rs 12 lakh.
This motorcycle comes powered by an 853-cc, parallel-twin engine. This motor generates maximum power of 93 bhp and 92 Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. A few months ago, the popular Malayalam actress Manju Warrier also bought this exact same motorcycle.
