Bigil Producer Archana Kalpathi Reveals Why She Avoided Meeting Vijay
Archana Kalpathi is a movie producer who helped make a big film called 'Bigil.'
The star of that movie is a very famous actor named Vijay, who many people love.
Archana's father was friends with Vijay, and Vijay would sometimes come to their house to visit.
Even though he visited, Archana never went to meet him on purpose.
She recently explained why in an interview.
She said she believes in the saying 'Never meet your heroes.'
That saying means that if you admire someone a lot, meeting them in person might disappoint you.
Archana explained that we imagine our heroes to be perfect, but real people are not perfect.
She wanted to keep her good picture of Vijay, so she stayed away from meeting him.
Her husband actually met Vijay more times than she did before they made their first film together.
Bigil producer Archana Kalpathi revealed she deliberately avoided meeting Thalapathy Vijay, citing the saying 'Never meet your heroes.'
Her father, AGS Entertainment founder Kalpathi S. Aghoram, shared a cordial relationship with the actor.
Vijay would visit the Kalpathi home to meet her father, but she consciously stayed away from these encounters.
Several discussions about collaborating between them never materialised into a project.
She said her husband had met Vijay more often than she had before they made their first film together.
