Vijay Sethupathi gives a stern yet calm reply to the reporter
Reacting to the question, Vijay Sethupathi recalled that this was not the first time the same reporter was posing this question before him, and had asked him the same earlier during a press meet when Aamir Khan was in town.
The Super Deluxe actor also questioned the reporter as to why this was a topic of discussion during a film’s promotion. He further said “Nobody said don’t study Hindi, all we said is not to impose. They are two different things. The question you ask is wrong, and unnecessary in this forum. People who want to learn Hindi are learning it. Nobody stops them too.”
Additionally, the actor also mentioned that the proper response to this question has been given by Minister Palanivel Thiagarajan in an interview.
