At the Iftar party, Vijay did something special. He joined the evening Namaz. Namaz is a prayer Muslims do five times a day. During Ramzan, it feels even more important. Vijay sat with the group. He prayed with them. After Namaz, he broke his fast. Breaking the fast means eating after a day of not eating. He ate with everyone there. This made people happy. They felt he cared about their traditions.
The food at the party was grand. There were many dishes. People enjoyed a big feast. Vijay’s team made sure everyone had enough. He thanked the Muslims for coming. He said he was glad they joined him. This showed his kindness. Many praised him for this. They said it was a sign of unity. In India, unity between communities is special. Vijay’s actions touched many hearts.
But not everyone was happy. Some people on the internet had questions. They asked, “Is this just politics?” A few said he was trying to win votes. Others asked if he would join other religious events too. One person wrote, “Did he go to Kumbh Mela?” Kumbh Mela is a Hindu festival. These comments started debates. Some felt it was wrong to judge him. They said Tamil Nadu has only 5% Muslims. So, it’s not just about votes. It’s about respect.
Vijay’s fans defended him. They said he is a good person. They shared photos of him praying. They called him a “real hero.” One fan wrote, “He brings people together.” Another said, “This is not acting. This is real.” His fans were proud. They felt he showed love for all religions. This made his image stronger.
This was not Vijay’s first time helping people. His fan club won many seats in local elections in 2021. This showed he has support. Now, as a politician, he wants to do more. The Iftar party was a big move. It happened during Ramzan 2025. Ramzan started on March 2 in India. It’s a month of prayer and fasting. Vijay chose this time to connect with people.
The event had tight security. Many people came to see Vijay. He is a superstar, after all. Police made sure everyone was safe. The YMCA grounds were full. The mood was happy and calm. Vijay spoke to the crowd. He said he was thankful. He wanted everyone to feel welcome. His words were simple but strong.
Vijay is also busy with movies. He is working on a film called *Jana Nayagan*. It’s his last movie before full-time politics. The movie will come out soon. Fans are excited. But the Iftar party showed a different side of him. He is not just an actor now. He is a leader too. People are watching him closely.
The Iftar party ended with smiles. People left with full stomachs and happy hearts. Vijay’s skull cap and Namaz moment stayed in their minds. Photos kept spreading online. News channels talked about it. Some called it a “grand affair.” Others said it was a “smart move.” Whatever it was, it made Vijay stand out.
In the end, this event was special. It showed Vijay’s respect for Ramzan. He wore a skull cap. He prayed Namaz. He hosted a big Iftar party. All this happened on March 7, 2025, in Chennai.
