Vijay's Airport Exit Marred by Minor Stumble
In a minor but startling incident on Sunday night, popular actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) president Vijay lost his balance and fell while trying to enter his car at the Chennai International Airport. The mishap occurred as the star-politician was returning from a trip to Malaysia.
Chaotic Scenes as Crowd Surges Forward
Vijay had just stepped out of the terminal building when a large group of fans and onlookers gathered around him. As he proceeded towards his waiting vehicle, the enthusiastic crowd pushed forward, creating a sudden surge. This unexpected movement caused Vijay to trip and fall moments before he could get into the car.
Security personnel who were part of his detail acted swiftly. They immediately rushed to his aid, helped him back to his feet, and safely escorted him into the vehicle. Following the incident, he was driven away from the airport premises without further delay.
Return from Malaysia and Political Focus
The actor had returned to Chennai after attending the audio launch event of his upcoming film, Jananayagan. This project is notably being described as his final cinematic venture before he shifts his focus entirely to his political career with the TVK party.
Later television visuals from the airport showed what appeared to be a minor incident involving a car believed to be part of Vijay's convoy within the airport area. Fortunately, there were no reports of any injuries to Vijay or anyone else, nor was there any significant damage reported. Officials from the airport and the local police have not issued any formal statement regarding the Sunday night occurrence.
The event highlights the challenges of managing public movements around high-profile figures in India and underscores the intense public interest surrounding Vijay's transition from a top-tier film star to a full-time political leader.
