Chennai: Voting for Tamil Nadu assembly elections 2021 began on Tuesday and several prominent celebrities in the state showed up to vote in the wee hours of today in a bid to avoid the crowd. Even then, huge number of people gathered to see actors like Ajith, Vijay, Chiyaan Vikram, Suriya, Karthi among others.

Many of the stars patiently stood in the queue along with other electors and waited for their turn to vote. They also posed for the paparazzi and showed their inked fingers, while some fans misused this opportunity and tried to take selfies with them without their consent. One such incident irked our thala Ajith.

Ajith arrived at the Thiruvanmiyur polling booth along with his wife Shalini when an unmasked fan in the crowd tried to get a selfie without Ajith’s permission. This made the 49-year-old actor lose his temper and he then, snatched the phone from the person in question.

It is not that often that the actor loses his cool. He has usually entertained his fans in the past for a selfie with him.

What #Ajith did, was 200% correct! He deserves no reprimand.
At a time when India is recording record number of cases, some idiots don’t even seem to think twice before removing masks. Especially the ‘youth’ idiots. They think they can easily survive Covid, but what about elders?— Fakir (@Fakir212) April 6, 2021
Just now watched that video!!
Without even wearing mask, coming near people is first of all very bad thing and we should know how to behave in some places! Its not a private meeting!🙄
That’s why #Thala #Ajith got angry.. snatched his phone… and later he gave it back..
