Rumours spread that a stranger attacked Ilayathapapaty Vijay, chief of TVK party at the Coimbatore airport. However his fans and supporters rubbished all those rumours.
Rumours spread when Vijay surrounded by his security and fans flanked him and many thought whether he was hit by someone inside. Fans however rubbished those rumours saying that he just slipped.
A video went viral claiming “A mysterious person hit Vijay on the head and caused commotion at the airport.” In the video, the actor can be seen walking into the airport when he reacts to something before straightening himself and heading inside. He smiles as numerous fans call out to him, nodding in acknowledgement before going in.
However, his fans also posted videos of what happened, taken from numerous angles, claiming he ‘just slipped’ on his way in. “.@ThanthiTV is spreading false news, twisting the leader's stumble into an attack by a mysterious person...!! We strongly condemn such fake news,” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter).
They came up with the more clear video.
“Here’s a clearer video. It’s disappointing to see baseless rumors about Thalapathy Vijay’s safety being spread. No one attacked him and it was just a slip. Dear @ThanthiTV, kindly refrain from spreading misinformation and stick to the facts.”
A fan called out the channel for ‘spreading misinformation’, writing, “It’s shameful that baseless rumors are circulating about Thalapathy Vijay’s safety. There was no attack—his leg simply slipped. @ThanthiTV, please stop spreading misinformation and report the facts accurately!”
