On Vijay's 52nd birthday on June 22, wishes poured in for the actor-turned-politician from his close aides, industry friends, as well as fans. However, one of the most wholesome and heartwarming wishes came from Jagadish Palanisamy, who was once a fan standing in a crowd hoping to get a photograph with the actor. Today, that fan stands beside him as the Private Secretary to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
