Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam president and actor Vijay on Friday appealed to students, party workers and supporters to not address him as "Kamarajar" or "Ilaya Kamarajar."

In a party event organised to felicitate students, Vijay said: "A small request. Please do not talk about 2026 (a reference to assembly election and the political aspects related to it); or address me as Kamarajar or Ilaya Kamarajar...thank you."

The event held near here was to honour students (Assembly constituency wise-3rd phase) who have scored top marks in their 10th, 12th board exams in 2025.

A participant in the event appealed that Vijay be addressed as 'Ilaya Kamarajar' (young Kamaraj) considering his "service" in the field of education.

Freedom fighter and iconic Congress leader K Kamaraj is a former chief minister.

He is popular for opening up access to education, introducing midday meal scheme for students and his services to the people. -- PTI
