Hi,
Try it after doing following change :
In the header section, remove 'Content-Type': 'application/json'
and add'dataType' : 'json'

If the above method doesn't works, try this also.
Change headers :{'Content-Type': 'application/json'} to
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
