Indian superstar Vijay's political rally turned tragic as 40 people died in a crush, sparking a blame game. A popular Tamil actor, Vijay launched his party in Tamil Nadu last year, drawing massive crowds for his political events. Fans were surprised by his decision to quit acting to enter politics, following in the footsteps of other film stars who made a similar transition, although not all have found electoral success. Critics question the political experience of celebrity-led parties like Vijay's, despite their immense popularity.
