Parthiban Calls CM Vijay An Emperor During First Meeting Since 'Sit At Home' Comment On Trisha

Ever

since Thalapathy Vijay assumed office as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, several members of the film fraternity have met him. While some visited in their capacity as representatives of film bodies, others called on the actor-turned-politician to express their admiration and support. Among the latest to meet the Chief Minister was actor-director R Parthiban. The filmmaker met Vijay at his office and presented him with a painting portraying him as an emperor. Alongside the artwork, Parthiban also shared a note in which he described Vijay as a minister of world politics. This marks Parthiban's first meeting with Vijay since his remarks about Vijay and Trisha appearing together at a wedding.

Parthiban Hails CM Vijay as an Emperor During First Meeting Since Trisha Remark

In the pictures shared online, R. Parthiban is seen standing with Vijay, while another image shows the two holding the portrait. The painting depicts Vijay dressed as a prince, with a throne beside him.

The portrait carried a note that read: "சினிமாயணம் to CMஆசனம்! அராஜகமற்ற ஆட்சியைத் தர, அரகஜா திலகமிட்டு-விஜய பேரரசராக அரியனையை அலங்கரிக்கும் -உலக அரசியல் அதிர்WIN முதல்வருக்கு வாழ்த்துகள்! iறியருடன், பார்த்தியன் தேதி: என்றும்!" (which translates to: from cinema to cm seat, to provide anarchic rule, the well-respected honorable who will adorn the throne as Emperor Vijay, the world's political chief, Congratulations to the Chief Minister" He dated the letter to 'forever'.This is the first time he is meeting Vijay, after his controversial comments he made about his public appearance with Trisha, with whom he is often linked to.

What did Parthiban say about Trisha and Vijay ?

The controversy began after Parthiban reacted to a photograph of Trisha and Vijay who were spotted together at a wedding. During this rapid-fire segment at an awards event, he said, “Kundhavai has to be made to sit at home" referring to Trisha's character name in Ponniyin Selvan in which he also appeared. He later clarified that the remark was spontaneous.

This issue did not stop then. Parthiban continued to talk about it. In a video he said that “Trisha, who is over 40 years old, should have said she would not come to the reception with Vijay as his image would be tarnished. She could have stayed home.” The controversy has also unfolded against the backdrop of ongoing divorce row surrounding Vijay and his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam. The actor is currently involved in legal divorce proceedings. A petition reportedly filed by Sangeetha has mentioned allegations of an extra-marital relationship involving an unnamed actress.
