Actor Vijay’s recent X post condemned a "mercenary individual” for allegedly insulting his "mother, sister, and younger sisters" and blasted the DMK government for inaction. But, this post brought backlash on him with many saying, "First, you should protect the women who are with you."

Actor Vijay took to X to condemn a “mercenary individual” for allegedly insulting his “mother, sister, and younger sisters” and criticized the DMK government for taking no action. However, his post appears to have backfired on Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief, with critics saying, “First, you should protect the women who are with you,” amid ongoing divorce claims involving his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam.

Actor Vijay took to X to write, "A mercenary individual, functioning as a supporter of the DMK with words that fall short of honoring and praising my mother, sister, and younger sisters, who are truly worthy of the pride and reverence of this land, has resorted to criticism that has spilled from their mouth (as translated)." He further went on to condemn DMK on behalf of a TVK leader, calling them "opportunistic gamblers who operate under the embrace and support of the DMK leadership."

Vijay further wrote, "I also strongly condemn the DMK government for taking no action whatsoever against such persons." As Vijay uploaded this post, people started flooding the comment section. On replied to his post, "First, you should protect the women who are with you...You’re the one who said you didn’t recognize your own wife even after living with her for 25 years."

Another questioned the actor, "When you have such a difficult wife, why are you cleaning up after her all the time?" Calling Vijay a "fool" one tweeted, "What a fool… the one who told his fans that he doesn’t recognize his own wife."
