Tamil Nadu goes to polls today and even celebrities have come out and exercise their voting rights – and here is the most fun story so far. As Thala Ajith arrived to vote at the polling booth in Tiruvanmiyur, fans gushed over salt and pepper look. However, Vijay fans were not to take this lying down and trolled the actor for getting inked in the wrong finger.
And hence began the Twitter sparring between the two fandoms.
As usual #Thala Rules social media ...his latest look... Hot... will be superior impressive thru lens...waiting for #Thala57

Unable to digest that the limelight was being taken away from their favourite actor, Vijay fans took it upon themselves to point out that Ajith had gotten himself inked on the wrong finger.

However Thala fans were quick to defend their star, saying that he was a gentleman for having held up all his fingers together (and not just one).
Quick Thinking by #Thala #Ajith.. Always the Gentleman.. He shows all fingers together to maintain decorum in public pic.twitter.com/uom2I7pn5F

@ThalaAjith_FC @ThalaFansClub Ajith shows that he voted in a very decent way by turning his palm over. Sensible than showing the finger !!

Known to have pulled off the salt and pepper look in the Kollywood film fraternity, Thala’s appearance also sparked off speculations that the clean shaven look could be for his next film (referred to as ‘Thala 57’).
