2:16Now PlayingTamil actor and singer Vijay Antony whose daughter Meera recently died by suicide has urged people in the past to not take the extreme step of killing self even in the face of adversities. Vijay’s old statement on suicide has gone viral soon after the tragic demise of Meera. In an interview, the actor had reportedly said ‘No matter how painful life gets, or the kind of difficulties you might have to go through, never commit suicide. It is heartbreaking for the children. My father took his own life when I was seven and my sister was five. I have seen how difficult it was for my mother after that, and the hardships she has gone through.’ Vijay further added, ‘Some people have these thoughts due to their financial situation, others when they feel betrayed by a person they trust. Among children, it is the pressure of studies. They are sent to tuition immediately after school. Remember, you aren’t even giving them time to think. Please don’t do that. Allow them some time to be free. As for adults, I want them to love themselves rather than be obsessed over wealth and success.’ Vijay’s 16-year-old daughter Meera was found hanging at her Chennai residence in the wee hours of September 19. Reports suggest that Meera was battling depression and was getting treatment for the same.
