I do not wait for significant milestones, as I perceive every year as a landmark. I extend my sincere gratitude to all with a full heart and folded hands."
"This journey has never been straightforward. Without a legacy or influence, I began from the outside, armed only with the determination to try. Life, in its own way, challenged me repeatedly through injuries, setbacks, failures, and silence. Yet, I never faltered. I persevered. I rose again. And I continued to push ahead," he continued.

Each time I questioned myself, your love elevated me. You have been there, even when I was absent, and when I had nothing but honesty to give. That kind of faith is exceptional. I cherish it deeply, always."
In his statement, Ajith also discussed his experiences in motor racing, which he described as equally challenging and humbling.
Along with thanking his fans, he acknowledged the backing he received from the film industry, political figures, the media, and even his critics over the years.
Furthermore, Ajith expressed gratitude towards his wife Shalini and children Anoushka and Aadvik for bringing equilibrium to his life.
He also extended his thanks to the government for bestowing upon him the prestigious Padma Bhushan.
