Arun Shows It Is Not The Roots We Come From But The Routes We Take That Actually Matter

Many of us know the character of Arun is played by VJ Kathir on Sembaruthi. We are familiar with his comic timing and exemplary acting skills that add to finesse to the plot of the show. But what remains distant to us is the knowledge about the true-life struggle of the actor who portrays the character.

The real-life stories of the stars rising to stardom have always intrigued and caught the attention of the masses. Speaking in this context, very few details of VJ Kathir’s personal life has been shared over the media. It is only a few bits and pieces that have been woven around the star that is offered to the audience.

In fact, today VJ Kathir who plays Arun in Sembraruthi has carved himself a distinct identity in the Tamil industry and has a huge fan following across different social media platforms. He is one of the most loved VJ on Zee Tamil. But in reality, VJ Kathir was not always so affluent and well known. Born as Kathirvel, in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, as the eldest son of a lorry driver, Kandaswamy and Parameshwari, a construction worker, this actor only had a merge beginning to boast about.

Kathirvel had to discontinue his graduation due to financial issues while he was pursuing B.Sc in Computer Science at the Sri Jayendra Saraswathy Maha Vidyalaya College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore. It was after this setback that he entered the media industry. He started off by acting in short films, hosting events and VJing for different shows. It was his stage presence and confidence that has helped to rise amidst all the struggle. Finally, it was the role of Arun in the show Sembaruthi that made him a household name today.

Perhaps, for you, this was just another story of a struggling actor but then it is a truth, delivered to you in a truthful manner, hoping that it will lend you that inspiration to face your problems and overcome your pain to lead a life filled with confidence.
