It was said to be Kollywood's most sensational relationship. Before meeting Shalini and getting married to her, Ajith Kumar was in a serious relationship with Heera Rajgopal. They fell in love during the shooting of their first film together, Kathal Kottai. Reportedly, the actor wrote letters to her on the sets. They shared screenspace yet again in their second and last film 'Thodarum'.

Reportedly, well-known Tamil character artist called Bayilvan Ranganathan had read one of the love letters of the former couple. Reports state Heera's mother was against their marriage as she didn't want her daughter's career to get affected at a very young age. The reason behind their breakup is still not clear, but reportedly, Ajith was not happy with Heera’s changed behaviour towards him. 

Well, Ajith is now married to actress Shalini and they are proud parents of two kids.
