Vijay Makes FIRST Appearance Amid Attack At Vijayakanth's Funeral, Distributes Aid in Flood-Hit Tamil Nadu

Thalapathy Vijay joined relief efforts to help families affected by the recent floods in Tamil Nadu caused by the Northeast Monsoon. Pictures and videos circulating on social media show Vijay distributing relief materials and engaging with community members in flood-hit districts like Thoothukudi (Tuticorin) and Nellai (Tirunelveli). This is his first appearance since he was attacked at Vijaykanth’s funeral in Chennai on Friday.

In one of the videos posted on X, a young girl excitedly attempts to take a selfie with Vijay. He pauses his work to pose for the picture and gestures with his hand, asking if she needs relief materials. The girl declines and moves on. In a different video, when another elderly woman stands beside him for a photo, Vijay smiles and gladly obliges. The Leo actor visited Tuticorin airport to assist the flood-affected community. Wearing a simple blue shirt and trousers, Vijay distributed relief materials, took pictures with well-wishers, and patiently handed out supplies to community members.

Earlier this week, the actor joined the film fraternity to pay his last respects at Vijaykanth’s funeral. However, an angry mob of mourners attacked Vijay, with one even hitting him with a slipper. Vijaykanth died on Thursday, December 28. The 71-year-old actor turned politician was on ventilatory support after testing positive for Covid-19.

The funeral took place in Chennai with several Tamil stars attending the funeral. Vijay was one of the stars present at the funeral. In a video going viral on X, previously known as Twitter, a distraught Vijay was seen making his way through the mob to offer his last respects. He met Vijaykanth’s family and offered his condolences. As he made his way out, the actor was brutally mobbed while the police helped him wade through.
