And what’s more, his better half, Shalini, acted as one of the endearing kids in my film ‘Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari.’ Clearly, there were memories galore to cherish. I was so delighted at the peaks of stardom Ajith has attained over the years and yet how he remained a beautiful soul at heart,” Chiranjeevi wrote.
