The young teen could not contain his excitement at meeting the esteemed star.
“One of the best moments. I presented my race-winning cap to Uncle Ajith, he asked me if it was my race-winning cap and I said yes. He immediately asked me if I can sign it with the date so he could keep it, such a humble and kind gesture from a Superstar of Indian Cinema," he wrote on Instagram.

"Congratulations Jaden in such a young age you provide Age is just a number you made our country proud you're the inspiration to our next generation kids. You got a wishes from our A.K Sir," someone commented.
"Who else does this??? Only Ajith sir, pure humility," said another person.
Ajith also took a few pictures with Jaden at the Nrburgring Circuit in Germany.

Meanwhile, Ajith Kumar was recently in Italy participating in the GT4 European Series at the Misano World Circuit, where he was involved in a major crash but fortunately walked away without injury.
Even here, he left a mark on commentators and viewers with his gesture after the crash. Instead of retreating, Ajith stayed behind to help marshals clear debris off the track.
The GT4 European Series’ official page even shared a video of the moment, captioning it, “Out of the race with damage, but still happy to help with the clean-up. Full respect, Ajith Kumar.”
Commentators said Ajith is a “fine chap,” since it is not really standard for racers to lend a hand after incidents.
