Video: Actor Ajith Kumar explains why 'Travel makes you a better person'

'Thunivu' actor Ajith Kumar's love for racing is the stuff of legends. It was reported recently that he plans to compete in the European GT4 championship and the Porsche GT3 Cup in the European 24H series. Last year, he also started a motorcycle touring company called AK Moto Ride for those who have a passion to do bike rides across India. This was after he went on a world biking tour named 'Ride for Mutual Respect.' The actor, who recently went test driving for the championships in Dubai, is all set to launch his racing team, too, with Fabian Duffieux as the official driver. Recently, the actor's manager, Suresh Chandra, shared a video featuring Ajith Kumar, in which Ajith can be seen explaining why travelling is important. 

In the video, he says, 'Travel is the best form of education. There is a quote that goes, "Religion makes you hate people whom you have never met - be it religion, caste, whatever. We tend to people even before we have met them. But when you travel, you experience people from different religions, nationalities and cultures. You start to empathise with people. It makes you a better person.' And if Ajith's stories are anything to go by, you have no choice but to believe the actor. Last year, he had biked across Nepal, Bhutan and a handful of European countries. Interestingly, he reportedly surprised one of his fellow riders, Sugat Satpathy, by gifting him a superbike. The Rs 12.5 lakh-worth bike was gifted to a rider who helped him organise the ride in Nepal and the Northeast of India.
