Screen icon Thalapathy Vijay, now a political figure, has stepped forward. He reached out to families affected by the recent Karur stampede. Vijay promised his full support to those hurt at his rally in Karur. He connected with victims using WhatsApp video calls. He assured them all possible help would be on its way.
This direct contact follows a period of public criticism. Many felt he had not engaged enough with the affected families. As the leader of the Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam party, Vijay took a personal step. One family shared details of his call with them. They mentioned Vijay called their son-in-law. He expressed deep sorrow and regret over the stampede. Vijay told them the incident should never have happened. He also renewed his promise of assistance.
Will Vijay Visit Karur?
Another affected family also spoke about their call with Vijay. During the conversation, the actor-politician offered comfort to a woman. He told her, “I am like your son.” Yet, sources from the TVK party are still unsure if Vijay himself will visit Karur. He has, however, instructed his party members to reach out to every family impacted.
