Ajith Kumar and Shalini give couple goals

Tamil cinema’s beloved star Ajith Kumar and his wife, former actress Shalini, have once again won the internet’s affection — this time with an endearing moment caught on camera during a recent temple visit.

The couple, who have long been admired for their quiet charm and close relationship, were captured on camera having a loving moment that went viral on social media.

Fans were moved by Ajith's small but loving gesture of placing a bindi on Shalini's forehead in the opening of the viral video. A surprising and equally endearing turn of events ensued when Shalini, grinning, leaned down to touch her husband's feet, a customary gesture of respect in Indian culture.

Clearly amused, Ajith responded with a playful quip: “I would have to do the same after we reach home.” His light-hearted remark, paired with the couple’s natural ease with each other, only added to the video’s charm.

Shalini later took to social media to share the video herself, captioning it with the words, “Melts my heart cracks me up.” The post was instantly flooded with comments and reactions from fans, many praising the couple for their genuine warmth and the way they continue to set relationship goals. Admirers highlighted how, in an era of overly curated celebrity moments, this candid interaction felt refreshingly real.

One comment read, "Most beautiful couple," Another read, "Ajith sir and Shalini Ma’am setting couple goals, much needed for this generation and the generations to come"

Ajith, who his fans call "Thala," has always kept a low profile, rarely interacting with the media and avoiding the spotlight on his personal life.

Even though Shalini stopped performing after getting married, Tamil moviegoers still hold her in high regard. Fans of all ages were moved by the two's infrequent public appearance together as well as their private and light-hearted moment.

The clip now stands as yet another reminder of why Ajith and Shalini’s relationship continues to be celebrated — not for grand displays, but for the quiet, genuine gestures that speak volumes.
