Thalapathy Vijay was on the headlines this month when the income tax department conducted raids at his 'Master' shooting spot in Neyveli and then after an inquiry at his house was reportedly said to be given a clean chit.
During the same period, a report was doing rounds that the actor was trying to convert people into Christians with Vijay Sethupathi, Arya, Ramesh Khanna, Aarthi and others’ aid – to which Vijay Sethupathi had quashed it in style, “Poi vere velai irundha paarungada”.
In a recent interview, when the actor’s father, SA Chandrasekhar was quizzed about it, he opens up and explains how he being a Christian fell in love with a Hindu girl, Shobha forty-five years ago and married her.
He further said, "I never intervened in her faith. I have gone to Jerusalem one time and visited Tirupati three times. I have tonsured my head at Tirupati. Vijay married a Hindu girl (Sangeetha). There is a big pooja room in our house. Those alleging that Vijay's marriage was held according to Christian customs should provide proof. Will they publicly apologize if they find out these allegations are false?"
