Vijay, the Tamil Nadu actor-turned-politician, addresses a controversy involving actor Trisha Krishnan and political remarks that he says turn abusive toward women. He states he will not tolerate derogatory or personal language directed at women in public life, while also saying that legitimate political criticism remains acceptable.
The remarks come as outlets report a broader backlash over the tone of public statements in politics. NDTV and India Today both frame Vijay’s intervention as a call for restraint and accountability, with NDTV adding that Vijay indicates legal action may be taken against those who use abusive language. NDTV also connects his comments to his recent political success in Tamil Nadu, noting that Vijay attributes the support he received in part to women.
Across the reports, the core point is Vijay’s condemnation of sexist language and personal attacks, presented as a response to the controversy. The coverage differs mainly in emphasis: NDTV highlights his comments following his victory and the possibility of legal consequences, while India Today focuses more directly on the warning about abusive language toward women.
