These symptoms were likely aggravated by his packed work schedule and missed meals in recent days.Vishal's health has raised concerns before. Back in January 2025, during a promotional event for his upcoming film Madha Gaja Raja in Chennai, he appeared visibly ill—shivering and struggling to deliver his speech—sparking speculation about his well-being even then.Fans across social media have since poured in messages of concern and well wishes, hoping for a speedy recovery.

The medical team has since confirmed that there is no major health concern. Vishal is currently in stable condition and recuperating with rest. Doctors have advised him to follow regular meal schedules and avoid overexertion.The incident initially caused worry among fans and attendees, especially as it followed another episode earlier this year where he appeared visibly unwell at a film event. However, the clarification from his team has brought relief, reassuring fans that he is doing well.Vishal's team also expressed gratitude to everyone who showed concern and support following the incident. The actor is expected to resume his activities after taking adequate rest and ensuring better self-care in the coming days.Vishal began his journey in the film industry behind the camera, working as an assistant director to actor Arjun. But it wasn't long before he stepped into the spotlight himself. He made a strong debut as a leading man in the 2004 romantic thriller Chellamae, quickly making a mark with his screen presence. He followed it up with a string of successful action entertainers like Sandakozhi, Thimiru, Thaamirabharani, and Malaikottai, cementing his reputation as a mass hero.

Committee favours cancellation of kidney transplant licences of two hospitals
The committee formed to inquire into the illegal kidney sale racket, involving the Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College and Hospital in Perambalur and Cethar Hospital in Tiruchi, has recommended that the kidney transplant licences of these hospitals be cancelled and action initiated against brokers Anandan and Stanley Mohan under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhitha. A detailed report submitted to the authorisation committee by S. Vineeth, Project Director, Tamil Nadu Health Systems Project, said the inquiry found that the documents submitted to the committee were prepared to facilitate illegal kidney transplant with the consent of the hospitals. Some of the documents were fraudulently prepared by the transplant coordinator to facilitate illegal kidney transplant, said a release from the Health Department. Action must also be initiated against the staff and officials of district-level committees that submitted fake documents to the authorisation committee under the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME&R), which is responsible for approving living donor organ transplants, the panel said. 'Reconstitute panels' The committee suggested reconstitution of district-level and State-level organ transplantation authorisation committees. It also suggested that the DME develop a Standard Operation Procedure for transplants involving live donors. The effects of organ donation must be explained to the live donors. In future, if organ recipients are unable to be present before the district-level committee, they should be interviewed online. Since documents pertaining to organ transplants are considered medico-legal, they should be kept for 10 years. The forms may be printed in Tamil and English. If applications for transplants are submitted from a particular village or taluk repeatedly, such applications should be given special attention and decisions taken accordingly. The Collectors should be apprised of such instances. More awareness must be created by the Collectors of live donor organ donation. Hospitals and doctors, too, should be educated regularly, the committee said.

Commitment to truth, authenticity vital as fighting fake news becomes a daily battle: Nirmala Lakshman
At a time when countering fake news has become a daily battle, commitment to truth and authenticity is the most cardinal virtue of journalism that needs to be practised, Nirmala Lakshman, Chairperson, The Hindu Group Publishing Private Ltd., said here on Saturday. Ms. Lakshman, who is the author of The Tamils: A Portrait Of A Community, was in conversation with Col. David Devasahayam, chairman and managing director of the Radiant Group of Companies, on the topic 'Re-imagining Tamil social fabric today' at the Radiant Wellness Conclave. To a question on social wellness and women, she said, 'Over the years, because of legislation, movements, and protests, there has been progress in terms of gender equality. But we have not really scratched the surface. Social and economic disadvantages still keep women in a much lower focus, both from the national point of view and from their own social wellness aspect. We have a long way to go.' She expressed concern over caste-based killings and violence against members of the Dalit community. On inclusivity and acceptance in Tamil Nadu, she said rural India was well exposed to the outside world. Several families honoured heroes they revered by naming children after them, such as Lenin and Stalin. 'It is a particularly wonderful Tamil characteristic to look at the world outside. It is not just about Tamil Nadu or Tamilians, contrary to the notion that Tamils are insular,' she added. Nine aspects of wellness In his keynote address, Congress leader and Lok Sabha MP Shashi Tharoor spoke on nine aspects of wellness such as physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, environmental, occupational, financial and cultural. He expressed concern over the prevalence of obesity and diabetes, particularly among urban youth, and highlighted the negative correlation between screen time and mental health. In a conversation with journalist Barkha Dutt on 'Planetary care in crisis', Pasumai Thaayagam Foundation president Sowmiya Anbumani said though Tamil Nadu got enough rainfall, the State was unable to tap its potential due to inadequate storage facilities. She stressed the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and move towards alternative energy sources. During the conclave, veteran actor Shabana Azmi was honoured with the Radiant Lifetime Achievement Award for her contribution to Indian and international cinema.

Keerthy Suresh recalls losing 8-9 kilos with just cardio exercises in 2018-19: ‘I am not a very fat person'
Tamil actor Keerthy Suresh recently opened up about her face looking sculpted and losing weight rapidly in 2018-19. 'I was very chubby. I was a little built…wouldn't say fat. I am not a very fat person. I did a lot of cardio. When you engage in a lot of cardio, you can lose muscle. So, without strength training, I just did cardio. So, I lost weight quickly,' she told Adding that she 'lost 8-9 kilos in a period of 8-9 months,' she continued: 'That's when my face looked sculpted. I agree, I was looking very thin at that time because when I saw pictures from 2019, my face looked so emaciated. It was because I was not working out in my life. I was just sleeping, eating, working, and coming back home, and sleeping, and then repeating. I didn't do any workout. Is that good for health? No! In 2018, I got a break after my film Mahanati, which is when I realised (I need to work out).' Taking a cue from her confession, let's understand why strength training is crucial. Dr Surender Pal Singh, HOD – physiotherapy department, CK Birla Hospital, Delhi, affirmed that losing weight and becoming fit are not necessarily the same thing. 'When setting weight loss goals, it's essential to ask: Are we becoming healthier in the process? Are we choosing the right method to achieve our goals? From a medical perspective, the basic principle of weight loss is straightforward: burn more calories than you consume to lose weight and consume more calories than you burn to gain weight. This calorie balance forms the foundation of any weight management plan,' said Dr Singh. That said, the way you burn calories matters. Dr Singh said that many people focus solely on cardio exercises, such as running, cycling, or aerobics, to burn fat. 'While cardio is effective in burning calories, relying on it alone can lead to muscle loss over time. If you're not engaging in strength training, your muscles may weaken, and your overall fitness may decline in the long run,' said Dr Singh. This is why a balanced approach is crucial for achieving sustainable weight loss and enhanced fitness. There are two key elements to focus on. First, being mindful of your calorie intake, considering what and how much you eat, is vital. 'Second, your workout routine, a healthy mix of cardiovascular exercises and strength training, ensures better results. Strength training not only builds muscle mass but also improves metabolism, enhances body composition, and supports long-term fitness,' said Dr Singh.
