Actor-producer Vishal recently met the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Vijayand later shared a touching note about it on social media. While the meeting itself attracted a lot of attention, the use of a certain word in his message later became a talking point. In his post, Vishal addressed Vijay as “Darling CM Vijay” and “SUPERSTAR”. The internet immediately began debating the appropriate use of this title.
The mention of ‘SUPERSTAR’ sparks controversy among fans
In his post, Vishal wrote, “Darling CM Vijay @CMOTamilnadu. The word ‘Darling’ has not changed since I knew you from Loyola College for the last few years. It all started when I met you as a budding star and then saw you climb the ladder, thwarting all the SUPERSTARs and superstars and facing criticism. Success, and then became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.”” As soon as the word ‘SUPERSTAR’ was mentioned, people got interested as the title is traditionally associated with Rajinikanth. While some welcomed Vishal’s assessment of Vijay’s fight, others questioned the propriety of keeping the subject exclusive.
Vishal says Vijay has followed the same person
Apart from the subject of the title, Vishal’s message was indicative of the great relationship that Vishal and Vijay have always shared. According to him, Vijay has not changed in any way despite being the Chief Minister. Vishal wrote that meeting Vijay felt as warm as years ago and described the interaction as a memorable fanboy moment. Their friendship, dating back to their Loyola University days, continues to be admired by fans.
The actor’s gesture has won him praise beyond controversy
Vishal’s gesture during the meeting was also appreciated online. Instead of offering the usual bouquet and shawl, the money was used to support the education of three underprivileged girl students in Tamil Nadu, he said on Vijay’s behalf. The actor thanked the chief minister for accepting the gesture and wished him success in his tenure. As the ‘SUPERSTAR’ debate continues, many social media users have praised Vishal’s charitable efforts and positive message.
