Actor Ajith Kumar recently shared his thoughts regarding the tragic stampede at Vijay’s Karur political rally in Tamil Nadu, which resulted in the loss of 41 lives. During his interview with Hollywood Reporter India, Ajith highlighted the societal dynamics that led to such calamities. He emphasized, “We have become obsessed with gathering a crowd to show your crowd,” stressing that “all this has to end.”
Ajith remarked that while he appreciates the support from his fans, there must be a level of moderation in such expressions. He pointed out that fans sometimes erupt in celebrations that lead to chaos, such as bursting firecrackers and destroying property, stating, “all this needs to end.”
Ajith elaborated, “I’m not trying to put anybody down, but there’s so much happening in Tamil Nadu due to this stampede. That individual (Vijay) alone is not responsible; we are all responsible, including the media. We have become a society obsessed with gathering a crowd just to show off.” He further expressed concern about the negative portrayals of the film industry resulting from such incidents.
“There are appropriate ways fans can express their admiration. For instance, crowds at a cricket match don’t react this way. So, why does this only happen in theatres or around celebrities? It reflects poorly on us,” he added.
The tragic incident in Karur occurred on September 27 during a public event featuring Vijay. The stampede resulted in 41 fatalities, including women and children, and left over 60 injured.
