Tamil actor Vijay quotes
# “I really havent achieved anything like Rajanikanth or Kamal Haasan and was embarrassed by the superstar status.”
# ” I would just start off the charity drive and push off. It was when I read an item about a school topper struggling to raise money, that I traced her and told her that I would sponsor her studies further. The joy in her and her mother was what set me thinking about doing charity.”
