‘Like winning crores': TN CM Vijay places his Dior Sunglasses on elderly woman in heartwarming viral video | Watch
Despite Chellam's initial reluctance, Vijay gently persuaded the eldery woman before placing the Christian Dior sunglasses on her face himself - a cinema-like gesture from the former silver-screen hero, who quit acting and took to full-time politics to serve the people.
On 1 September, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay visited a roadside farm home near the Mettur hydroelectric power station while inspecting the facility in Salem district. As he approached, an elderly woman named Chellam came forward to greet him, holding his hand. The Chief Minister walked with her around her garden and farmland, asking about her well-being before presenting her with a pair of Christian Dior sunglasses, a gesture that quickly went viral on social media.
Chellam, who compared the experience to winning a crore of rupees, expressed her joy in having the opportunity to meet the former superstar turned politician. Despite her gratitude, Chellam also shared the challenges she faces daily, including the loss of her ration card, limited ability to perform physical labor due to age, and her reliance on a modest monthly allowance.
