Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], June 17 (ANI): Actor Vijay interacted with the students and talked about the importance of voting and adviced them not to make money before casting their votes. In his speech, while interacting with the students he said that the character of a person is most important and if it is lost everything is lost.

“I am happy to meet you all. I remember my school days. I was an average student.”
He encouraged friendly discussion and said that they have to be careful while using social media and have to be an alert voter.
“In this information era, most of the news is fake. Do analyse the fake news on social media and any information available on it.”
