The actor, in a recent interview, opened up about the 'bad incident' that made him stay away from the media. Thalapathy Vijay mentioned that he made a conscious decision to not interact with the media after he had fallen in a controversy over one of his interviews. He mentioned that something that he had not said had been attributed to him and that led to a controversy. The actor was quoted saying, “It was not that I was busy that I couldn’t give interviews to promote my movies. I can certainly spare time for interviews. But it was a conscious decision to stay away from the media. This is because of one bad incident that took place 10 years ago. That’s when I had decided to stay away from the media for sometime. This gap became 10 years." 

Further, he added, "I had given an interview. They had turned it into a controversy by attributing to me what I had not spoken. Even my family, close friends were shocked after reading the interview and they told me that they couldn’t believe that I spoke so. I had clarified to them that I didn’t speak so. Since they are close to me, I could explain them. Whereas it is difficult to clarify for everyone. That’s when I decided to take a gap from the media."
