In a heartwarming pre-Christmas celebration, actor and political leader Vijay, popularly known as Thalapathy, spent time with his young admirers at a party event in Mahabalipuram. The gathering, held at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel on December 22, was marked by simple festivities and a strong message of unity.
A Low-Key Celebration with Young Fans
The event was deliberately kept intimate and low-profile. Vijay was seen engaging warmly with children, participating in traditional Christmas rituals. He cut a large Christmas cake and was photographed personally feeding pieces to the kids, a gesture that delighted fans. The actor-politician also took part in lighting the Christmas tree and accepted flowers from children on stage.
Several clips and images from the event quickly spread across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), shared enthusiastically by his fan clubs. Fans flooded the comment sections with affectionate terms like "Pookie" and "Cute anna," particularly charmed by pictures of Vijay wearing festive Christmas party glasses.
Speech Focused on Compassion and a Biblical Parable
During his address, Vijay emphasized the core values of affection and compassion, describing them as the foundation for everything. He drew a parallel between a mother's heart and the nurturing nature of Tamil Nadu. He posed a poignant question to the audience: "Even though the ways of living and worshipping are different, aren't we all brothers?"
The centerpiece of his speech was a reference to a story from the Bible. He narrated the tale of a young man whose jealous brothers threw him into a dilapidated well. Despite this betrayal, the man recovered, returned, and eventually became the king of his country, later saving both his brothers and the nation from crisis. Vijay stated, "I don’t think it is necessary for me to tell you who that specific story is about," leaving the story of Joseph from the Book of Genesis for the audience to recognize.
A Political Assurance Ahead of 2026
Linking the story's theme of resilience and forgiveness to his political vision, Vijay made a significant assurance. He declared, "both I and the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) are 100 per cent committed to protecting social and religious harmony without any compromise." This statement gains importance with the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in 2026. He concluded his Christmas message with optimism, saying, "A light will definitely be born, and that light will lead the way for us."
Looking Ahead: Final Film Before Full-Time Politics
On the professional front, Vijay's highly anticipated film "Jana Nayagan," directed by H. Vinoth, is set for release on January 9, ahead of the Pongal festival. The film boasts a star-studded cast including Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Prakash Raj. This project is notably slated to be his last cinematic venture before he transitions into full-time political work with his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam.
