Tamil actor-turned-politician Vijayakanth's recent passing has left a big void in the industry. People gathered at the DMDK office to say their final goodbyes, and big names like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and Vijay were there too. However, amidst the sadness, something unexpected happened that made fans really angry. Actor Vijay, paying his respects to Vijayakanth, had a surprising and upsetting moment when someone threw a slipper at him.
Vijay was one of the first celebrities to arrive to honor the late actor. When he got there, the place was crowded with fans and media. In all the chaos, as Vijay was leaving, a slipper was thrown at him.
Security tried their best to protect him as he moved through the crowd, but a few people managed to get close to him, and one even threw a slipper. Thankfully, his security team intercepted it before it could hit him and threw it back into the crowd.
This kind of thing seems to happen sometimes when celebrities are out in public. But this particular incident upset many of Vijay's fans. They were upset about the lack of respect and the way Vijay was treated during a time of loss.
People shared videos of the incident on social media, expressing their strong disapproval of such actions. It's unfortunate that such incidents happen, especially during times of mourning.
