Actor Sanjjanaa Defends Trisha Over Support for Vijay
Listen to the story
Actor Sanjjanaa Galrani has publicly defended fellow actor Trisha after she faced criticism for standing beside actor-politician Vijay's parents during an Independence Day event.
Vijay, known in the film industry as Thalapathy, has entered politics and now leads his own party. Trisha's appearance next to his parents drew attention as a special attraction at the celebrations.
Following the event, some people criticised Trisha, focusing on her personal choices rather than political matters. Sanjjanaa responded by saying critics should discuss governance and political issues, not Trisha's personal life.
According to Sanjjanaa, if people want to question Vijay's political work, they should do so professionally, addressing his policies and plans rather than attacking those connected to him personally.
She argued that such criticism should show courage by focusing on real issues, not on gossip about personal relationships or appearances at events.
The comments have added to ongoing public discussion about Vijay's growing political role and how his personal and professional circles are being scrutinised by the media and public.
Trisha has not made a separate public statement about the criticism herself, but Sanjjanaa's remarks were widely shared and seen as a strong show of solidarity with her.
This incident reflects a larger pattern in Indian politics, where actors who become politicians often see their personal lives and associations become subjects of public debate.
As Vijay continues to build his political presence, incidents involving his associates, including fellow actors, are likely to remain a topic of media interest.
