Needless to say, soaring fuel prices in the country are continuing to burn a hole in the common man’s pocket. Taking a jibe at the rising fuel prices, Tamil comedian and actor Mayilsamy recently gifted 5 litres of petrol as a wedding present to a newlywed couple in Chennai.
The ace actor left everyone amazed at the wedding ceremony by giving his unusual gift to the couple. Several pictures that went viral on the internet show the comedian presenting them with two cans of petrol.
As per reports, Mayilsamy did this act to express his concern over the rising fuel prices. However, the veteran actor lauded the Tamil Nadu Government for cutting down the petrol prices. But expressed his anguish over the union government for not being bothered about the issues.
For the unversed, Mayilsamy contested in the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections as an Independent candidate earlier this year. He lost to DMK’s AMV Prabhakar Raja contesting from the Virugambakkam constituency.
