An incident that shocked Vijay took place on Pongal day was the suicide of Balamurugan, a fan of Vijay. Balamurugan has committed suicide because his parents didn’t give him money to see first day, first show of Thirupachi. Vijay went to Madurai on 16th January and visited Balamurugan’s house in Alwarpuram and consoled his parents and also gave a cheque of Rs 50,000.

Vijay later said: “I feel very sad for Balamurugan who has committed suicide for such a silly reason. Now I am planning to get a statement from all my fans that they will not take their precious life under any circumstance”.

In another incident which took place in Kamala theatre where Vijay’s Thirupachi is being screened, Vijay was called in as his crazy fans wanted the theatre authorities to play a particular song for a second time. Later the actor came to the theatre and solved the problem.

Nowadays, the fans have a lot of craze on their heads (Thazhais) and the fans are willing to do anything for them. People should first know the difference between the real life and the life on the silver screen. The actors should advise their fans not to be hyperactive and repeat this in the future.
