Actor Vishal Krishna met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thiru C. Joseph Vijay and extended a meaningful gesture by announcing the educational sponsorship of three underprivileged girl students in the Chief Minister’s name. During the meeting, Vishal personally handed over a letter to Chief Minister Vijay, expressing his admiration for the latter’s inspiring journey and commitment to serving the people of Tamil Nadu. As a mark of respect and goodwill, Vishal chose to honour the occasion through an initiative rooted in social impact and empowerment.
About the meeting with CM Vijay, Vishal told this writer, “I’ve known him from his days at Loyola College. Darling he was back then to all his friends. He is still a darling. He met me with such warmth and affection. He had no starry airs as a celluloid superstar. He is now a superstar in politics, and no airs even now. We need people like him in politics: grounded, sensible, incorruptible.”
Reflecting his belief that meaningful gestures should create a lasting difference, Vishal shared that instead of presenting a ceremonial bouquet and shawl he preferred to support the education of deserving students with the same money believing that investing in a child’s future would leave behind a far more enduring impact with the heartfelt acceptance of the CM. Accordingly, the educational sponsorship has been extended to three deserving girl students from economically challenged backgrounds to support their higher studies. The selected students, including first generation learners from single parent and daily wage earning family backgrounds, will receive educational assistance to pursue their academic aspirations and build a brighter future. The educational assistance has been extended to M. Lily Pushpam, who will be pursuing B.Sc. (Computer Science), M. Harini, pursuing BCA, and B. Dharshini, who has enrolled for B.Com (General). Coming from economically challenged backgrounds, including single parent and daily wage earning families, the three students represent determination and aspiration, with the sponsorship aimed at supporting their higher education and helping them pursue their academic dreams.
