Actor-politician Vijay, amidst his divorce and election campaign, believes he’s being targeted by political opponents. He alleges attempts to block his film’s release and spread rumors to damage his reputation before the Tamil Nadu elections. He remains defiant.
Vijay Claims Political Conspiracy
As he goes through a divorce from Sangeeta Sornalingam and contests the Tamil Nadu elections via TVK, Vijay seems to believe he has been targetted.
Targeting His Film and Party
When people still stood by Vijay after the Karur stampede, he claims they targeted his final film’s release and his party next. “Okay, what else can we do next? Let’s stop Jana Nayagan . You know who blocked this film from releasing. When that didn’t work, let’s make up new rules for Vijay and levy SOP (Standard Operating Procedure). He should not come out and meet people,” claimed the actor-politician.
Despite all that Vijay says, he persevered when they began targeting his personal life. “When that also didn’t work, they waited till 30 days before the election to spread rumours about those close to me. You know what I’m talking about, that didn’t work too. No matter how many trials and pains you put me through, you can’t separate me from the people,” he said, alluding to his divorce from Sangeeta .
Divorce Controversy and Election Timing
Politically too, Vijay went through the wringer when a stampede broke out at a Karur rally last year. It left over 40 dead and hundreds injured. He stopped holding public rallies for a while before resuming them. He refused an alliance as he contests the TN elections via TVK on April 23.
In February this year, news broke that his wife, Sangeeta, had filed for divorce after close to three decades of marriage. She also accused him of having an affair with an actress. Days after that, in March, Vijay attended a wedding with Trisha , fueling these rumours.
Despite facing personal and political challenges, Vijay remains resolute in his commitment to the people. He believes his opponents’ tactics will ultimately fail to undermine his connection with his supporters as he contests the upcoming elections.
