Chennai, March 6 – Actor Vijay, along with his friend Trisha, attended the wedding reception of Kalpathi Suresh's son in Chennai, and this has sparked a debate online. One section is criticizing Vijay for his actions, while another is defending him.
Actor Vijay and actress Trisha attended the wedding reception of Kalpathi Suresh and Meenakshi Suresh's son in Chennai on Thursday. Vijay and Trisha arrived together and greeted the newly married couple on stage.
A video clip of the actor and actress arriving together and greeting the newly married couple has gone viral online. This video has triggered a major debate among netizens regarding Vijay's decision to attend the reception with Trisha, especially given that Vijay's wife, Sangeetha Vijay, has filed a divorce petition in the Chengalpattu District court.
Well-known actress Sanam Shetty was among those who expressed disappointment at Vijay choosing to attend the wedding reception with Trisha.
Quoting a news report about the couple attending the reception together, Sanam Shetty wrote, "NO! This is not the way!
The wife's grief cannot be ignored like this! As a long-time fan, it is deeply disappointing to see this now. @actorvijay @TVKVijayHQ."One of the netizens responded to Sanam Shetty's post, saying, "Why can't they be friends? I think Sangeetha triggered his ego."
In response, Sanam Shetty wrote, "Yes, they can... but is it the right time to make this public appearance together when allegations have surfaced just a few days back? Especially without any statement from their side!"
Another person responded, "Who decides the right time? The people involved. Not you and me." In response, Sanam Shetty said, "For my opinion, I decide! For your opinion, you can decide (thumbs up)."
Meanwhile, well-known producer and distributor G Dhananjayan, without naming any individual, posted on his X timeline that people with great popularity have a great responsibility to set a good example for common people.
Dhananjayan wrote, "'With great power/popularity comes great responsibility… a popular dialogue in the film ‘Spider-Man’. People with great popularity have a great responsibility to set a good example for common people on how to live an honest and respectful life. When that is ignored, everyone loses respect for them."
The producer further observed, "For every person, family comes first. When family is taken for granted and abused (mentally or emotionally), the love and respect for them is lost. Such acts cannot be normalized or justified under any circumstances. Being a strong family-oriented person, I am disturbed by a few leading actors setting a wrong example through their actions for their millions of fans and followers."
