South Indian Superstar Ajith Kumar emerged unscathed despite being involved in a dramatic dual crash during the Porsche Sprint Challenge in Valencia, Spain. The actor's car toppled twice in a high-speed collision but remained well-protected, allowing him to finish the race in 14th position. Sources close to Ajith confirmed that despite the severity of the crash, he reassured his teammates that he was unharmed and there was no cause for concern. "He took the crashes in his stride, acknowledging them as part and parcel of racing," a source told IANS.

His manager, Suresh Chandra, shared the footage on social media platform X, explaining the sequence of events. "In Valencia, Spain, where the races were happening, Round 5 was good for Ajith Kumar. He ended in 14th place, earning appreciation from everyone. Round 6 was unfortunate. Crashed twice due to other cars. The video clearly shows he was not at fault," Chandra wrote. "Despite the first crash, he returned to the pit and was doing well. When the second crash happened, he toppled twice but remained unharmed. His perseverance is stronger, and he came out unscathed again to continue the race. Thanks for all the prayers and wishes. AK is all right."
