Actress booed at Chennai protest for citing Vijay's film

Sanam Shetty was booed and called a 'joker' at a student protest in Chennai for bringing up Vijay's film Jana Nayagan.
She accused protesters of using the platform for a 'political agenda' and defended her right to free speech.
Protesters wearing student DMK t-shirts booed her, and organisers took away her microphone.
Sanam Shetty questioned if filmmaker Vetrimaaran would also be called a joker for supporting students.
She stated her support was for the students and Sonam Wangchuk, not for any political agenda.
