In a recent Television show, SPB said: "Ajith and my son Charan are classmates. They used to write their matric exams in Andhra. When Ajith went to advertisement shoots, he used to wear Charan's shoes and clothes because of a sentimental reason. 

You know something? Ajith first acted in a Telugu film, and I was the one who introduced him to that producer. The thing I like the most about Ajith is that, he has stopped appearing on Television shows, or giving interviews to newspapers and magazines, or posting something on social media that creates a furore. He is only concentrating on films, and his family."
