Thalaivar spoke at the occasion and stated, "I will always be grateful to Y Gee mahendran for introducing me to my wife, Latha.
I used to drink every day while I worked as a conductor, and I didn't keep track of how many cigarettes I smoked each day. I would eat a non-vegetarian breakfast and at least two non-vegetarian meals throughout the day. Seeing so many vegans makes me feel horrible. But the combination of these three is lethal."
