The spokesperson also said that the 'Valimai' actor became even more conscious about his health, after the art director Milan Fernandez's demise last year. He said, “Ajith was supposed to meet Milan in half an hour when he passed away. That shattered him and he began taking his health check-ups more seriously."

Videos from the hospital where he was accompanied by his wife also went viral on social media. Some reports also claimed that the Tamil actor took test due to damage to his spinal cord.
