Actor-producer Vishal recently met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay and later shared an emotional note about it on social media. While the meeting itself attracted a lot of attention, the use of a particular word in his post later became a point of discussion.
In his post, Vishal addressed Vijay as ‘Darling CM Vijay’ and ‘SUPERSTAR’. Netizens immediately began discussing the appropriate use of this title.
The mention of “SUPERSTAR” sparks controversy among fans
In his post, Vishal wrote: “My dear CM Vijay @CMOTamilnadu. The word ‘dear’ that I used to call you has not changed for the past many years since I knew you in Loyola College. It all started when I got to know you as a budding star and then saw you climb the ladder as a SUPERSTAR, face all the hardships and criticisms and shake them off with silence and success, and then move on to become the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.”
“As soon as the word ‘SUPERSTAR’ was mentioned, people became interested in it since the title is traditionally associated with Rajinikanth. While some welcomed Vishal’s appreciation of Vijay’s struggle, others questioned the appropriateness of maintaining exclusivity on the subject.”
Vishal says that Vijay remained the same person
Besides the issue surrounding the title, Vishal’s post pointed out the great relationship that Vishal and Vijay have always enjoyed.
According to him, Vijay has not changed in any way, even after becoming Prime Minister. Vishal wrote that meeting Vijay was just as warm as it was years ago and described the interaction as an unforgettable moment. Their friendship, which dates back to their Loyola college days, is still admired by fans.
The actor’s gesture is being praised beyond controversy
Vishal’s gesture during the meeting was also appreciated online. Instead of offering the usual bouquet and shawl, he said the money was used to support the education of three underprivileged girl students in Tamil Nadu named Vijay. The actor thanked the Prime Minister for accepting this gesture and wished him success in his tenure. Even as the controversy surrounding ‘SUPERSTAR’ continues, many social media users have praised Vishal’s charitable efforts and positive message.
