Malavika Mohanan on Media Conduct: “I’ve Known Thalapathy Vijay for Seven Years, Grateful to Call Him a Friend”

Actor Malavika Mohanan has responded after a video of her reacting to an uncomfortable question about Vijay and Trisha Krishnan at a recent event began circulating widely on social media. While many online praised the actor for handling the moment calmly, Malavika has now addressed the incident herself and called out the “distasteful” nature of some questions asked during the media interaction

I went for an event yesterday, and while I have the utmost regard for all the journalists and members of the Tamil Nadu media, a couple of them persistently asked some very distasteful questions that were completely unnecessary and sensational.

Thalapathy Vijay is someone I’ve known for the past seven years, someone I have a lot of respect for, and someone I’m grateful to call a friend. Watching his journey has been nothing short of incredible.

I would really appreciate it if future media interactions could be kept respectful and considerate for the sake of everyone involved.Thank you 🙏🏻

Malavika shared screen space with Vijay in the 2021 blockbuster Master, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The action drama also starred Vijay Sethupathi as the antagonist, alongside Andrea Jeremiah, Arjun Das, Shanthanu Bhagyaraj and Gouri G. Kishan in pivotal roles. The film emerged as a major box office success and was widely credited with helping theatres in Tamil Nadu recover after the pandemic-induced slowdown.
