Ajith Kumar talks bout insomnia

Ajith Kumar is one of the most popular actors in Tamil films. Right now, he is in Barcelona for a 24-hour endurance event to see how far he can push himself. The actor, who is famous for both his passion for racing and his work in movies, talked freely about the hard work and sacrifices that go into both of his hobbies.

Ajith recently commented about how he has been dealing with insomnia for a long time and how he seldom gets more than four hours of unbroken sleep. He added, "Even on flights, I try to rest as little as possible." He supports India's growing presence on worldwide streaming sites, but because of his illness, he doesn't have much time to watch movies or TV shows.

Ajith pondered the sacrifices he had to make for his interests, especially the time he lost with his kids, Anoushka and Aaditya. He did, however, say that his wife Shalini, is still his most reliable source of support.

He talked about how his son was getting more interested in go-karting and stated, "I owe everything to her encouragement." Ajith, on the other hand, made it clear that he would never compel his kids to do something they didn't want to do. Instead, he wanted to help them reach their goals.

Ajith's most recent work was in the gangster movie Good Bad Ugly. Fans are now eagerly awaiting his return in Adhik Ravichandran's AK64. His admirers are already quite thrilled about the initiative, even if it is still in its early phases.

Ajith Kumar is still an inspiration since he keeps going despite his personal problems, motorsports, and movies. Fans are excitedly waiting for his return to the big screen, but his honesty about not sleeping and making sacrifices for his family gives us a unique look at the problems that come with fame.
