They claimed her friend died at the Karur rally and blamed Vijay for it, writing, “My deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives (heartbreak emoji). Lost one of my closest friends in the Karur rally. All for TVK’s selfish politics. Vijay, people are not props for your stardom. How many more lives for your hunger? #Karur #Stampede #TVKvijay.”
