Condolence messages from the Tamil film fraternity and the fans of actor Ajith Kumar have been pouring in on social media. The star actor is on a holiday with his wife Shalini and kids in Europe and is expected to reach Chennai soon. A joint statement by Anup Kumar, Ajith Kumar and Anil Kumar reads, “Our father, P.S. Mani, passed away in the early hours of this morning, in his sleep, after a long illness. He was 85.bWe are grateful for the care and support provided to him and our family by a number of medical professionals, especially following his debilitating stroke of four years ago.
We are comforted, at this time of grief, that he lived a good life and knew the undying love of our mother, his partner of nearly six decades. We appreciate the kind, comforting messages and condolences that have been coming in and ask for your understanding if we may not be able to take calls or respond to messages in a timely manner.
His last rites will be a family affair. We trust that all who have known loss will respect our wish to grieve privately and deal with his passing with as much equanimity and dignity as possible.”
