Ever since ajith kumar was conferred with the prestigious 'Padma Bhushan' award, congratulatory messages have been pouring in from all quarters. However, one notable silence that has caught the attention of fans and media alike is that of his industry counterpart and TVK party leader, Vijay. Despite being known for regularly extending his wishes to various leaders on their birthdays and issuing press releases against the ruling DMK government, Vijay has refrained from acknowledging Ajith's remarkable achievement.

Vijay's political journey with the TVK party, which he launched last year, has so far been marked by carefully curated press releases rather than active engagement with the media or the public. Notably, he has never held a live press conference to answer direct questions, further fueling speculation about his leadership style. This has led netizens to mockingly question whether the party belongs to Vijay or his close aide, Bussy Anand.

The lack of acknowledgment from Vijay is not an isolated incident. When ajith achieved victory in an international car racing event in Dubai, Vijay similarly remained silent, leading many to believe that his silence stems from feelings of jealousy and insecurity. The rivalry between the two actors has long been a subject of fan wars, with Vijay's supporters frequently taking to social media to compare ajith to actors like Nandamuri balakrishna (NBK) without fully understanding Balakrishna's achievements.

For the uninformed, NBK is a highly accomplished individual with a successful political and cinematic career. He has secured three consecutive wins as an MLA, delivered four consecutive box-office hits, achieved tremendous success as a talk show host, and, most recently, received the 'Padma Bhushan' honor. Vijay fans who criticize ajith by drawing comparisons with NBK should take note of these accomplishments before making uninformed remarks.

Interestingly, it is well known in the industry that Vijay himself is an admirer of Balakrishna's work. Reports suggest that he watched NBK's film 'Bhagavant Kesari' five times and even approached director Anil Ravipudi to helm a similar project for him as his last film before retirement. Such instances highlight that even Vijay acknowledges Balakrishna's influence and success, albeit privately.

Ultimately, Vijay's reluctance to extend his wishes to ajith on such significant occasions reflects poorly on his public image. True leadership and maturity are demonstrated by rising above personal differences and acknowledging the achievements of peers. Unless Vijay learns to put aside his ego and genuinely congratulate his counterparts, he risks being perceived as insecure and petty in the eyes of the public and his peers.

While fan rivalries will always persist, a gracious and sportsmanlike approach from both actors would set a positive example for their supporters and contribute to a healthier and more respectful industry environment.
