'Thalapathy' Vijay's 49th birthday was an event in itself as celebrities and fans from around the world poured their love for the Tamil superstar on social media in different ways. From posting pictures they had taken with the actor to expressing their adulation in their own way through creative artwork, song, and dance covers, the world got to witness the love for him from all quarters. In that light, Bigg Boss Tamil season 4 fame Sanam Shetty too shared her admiration for Vijay and posted a video of a hand-drawn portrait of the actor with the 'Bloody Sweet' track from his upcoming film, Leo, playing in the background.
Although done with good intentions, many have appreciated Sanam for her genuine efforts, while a certain section of social media users took to trolling the actress. That being said, the fiery personality that she has been right through her career and as was witnessed by fans during her stint on Bigg Boss Tamil 4, Sanam hit back at the trolls with a strong message about how Vijay himself had faced such negativity throughout the course of his career, but eventually rising to massive heights. Stating that the comments passed at her for her hard work and genuine efforts will not deter her, Sanam posted a picture of herself in a green dress and seated on a bench writing, "Enna makkale oru sketch ku ivlo reaction uh? Viral akiteengale! Ana Vijay sir fan ah irundhu indha trolls ku ellam feel pannave matein. This is nothing compared to what @actorvijay has faced and overcome! All opinions are welcome. So chill panunga (adutha sketch varai) (sic)".
