Like he stood alongside Rajni when he undertook a day long fast to demand release of the Cauvery river water for Chennai, Vijayakumar stood at the entrance and received guests with a smile.
One of the first VIPs to arrive was DMK leader M Karunanidhi. As Jayalalithaa was expected to be present (and she was), Karunanidhi had stayed away from the wedding ceremony.
The moment Karunanidhi entered, Rajni stepped down from the stage and escorted him to the couple. While departing too, Karunanidhi was seen leaning on Rajni's shoulder. Karunanidhi's nephews Dayanidhi Maran and Kalanidhi Maran accompanied him, his son M K Stalin arrived later.
