It was the first time they were shooting together. On the sets of Amarkalam, directed by Sharan, the first scene being shot had Ajit, in anger, flinging a knife.
As it happened, he flung it dangerously close to co-star Shalini, close enough to inflict a skin wound. Ajit panicked. But Shalini, throughout, remained calm. Ajit was to say later it was this cool, composed manner of hers that first attracted him to her, made him take notice of her.
Shalini's father Babu said later that it was a good omen -- though one wonders whether too many romances have begun with one party throwing a knife at another and drawing blood, albeit accidentally.

Ajith Says "My state of mind, for quite a while, has been unsettled," says Ajit. "There was the problem with my back, the break-up of my earlier relationship, my films were flopping... I was very unsettled. My life has been a bit like a river -- starting small, tumbling over rocks, finally growing as it nears the plains, all the time searching for a peaceful end in the big ocean..."
Ajit, meanwhile, is aware his life is about to change again. "A friend once showed me a poem," he recalls. "In it, the girl is described, by a friend, as beautiful. She replies, 'I am not beautiful -- it is my lover's vision of me that is beautiful.' I think I am like that. I am not personally a very good or handsome or wonderful guy, but Shalini's vision of me is. And from now on, I am going to be the Ajit that Shalini visualises -- a calm, composed human being at peace with himself and his world.'
