The touching post resonated deeply with fans, quickly going viral and garnering over 800,000 likes. Many praised the actor for reminding people of the importance of spending time with family in the middle of busy lives and professional commitments.


This isn’t the first time Vijay has given fans a glimpse into his bond with his parents. In a past interview with IANS, he revealed another nickname given by his folks—‘Rowdy’. As a mischievous child, Vijay often found himself in trouble, prompting his parents to call him ‘Rowdy’ whenever he stirred up chaos at home. The name eventually became a symbol of his bold persona, inspiring the title of his clothing brand, “Rowdy.”

On the professional front, Vijay recently appeared in a cameo in the sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD, starring Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, and Deepika Padukone. He’s now gearing up for his return as a leading man in the upcoming comedy-thriller Kingdom, where he will star opposite newcomer Bhagyashri Borse.
