He had to make a choice between films and racing, and as the films were happening and generating him some money, he began concentrating on it. Following an accident, several business agencies pushed him into modelling for advertisements in print media. He had put a lot of money into racing and would borrow tyres from his friends who used to help when the chains wore out as there was no money in racing at that time. Joining as an apprentice, he rose to be a merchandiser with a garment export company, doing small-time press ads and TV commercials occasionally. At 18, Ajith had to take up a job to support his career in racing. During his teens he became fan of Rajnikanth & Kamal Hasan. He took up work as a two-wheeler auto mechanic, and got himself a driver's license to coincide with his interests in car and bike racing. He dropped out of Asan Memorial Senior Secondary School in 1986 before completing his higher secondary. He did not speak Tamil as a child, and mastered it only after becoming an actor. Kumar was born to a Sindhi mother from Kolkata and a Keralite father.
