Actor Vishal Krishna Reddy, popularly known as Vishal, experienced a health scare on Sunday when he collapsed while attending the Miss Koovagam Transgender Beauty Contest in Villupuram, Tamil Nadu. The actor, who had been invited as the chief guest, was immediately rushed to a hospital for medical attention. His team later issued a statement providing an update on his health.
Vishal Collapses at Event
The incident occurred during the beauty pageant event, where Vishal was seen arriving and participating in the ceremony. According to videos circulating on social media, the actor suddenly fainted while on stage, alarming those present at the venue. Former Tamil Nadu minister K. Ponmudy, who was also at the event, worked with the event team to ensure that Vishal was quickly transported to a nearby hospital in Chennai for further medical examination.
Health Update from Vishal’s Team
The following day, Vishal’s team released a statement to clarify the situation and provide fans with an update on the actor’s condition. The statement revealed that Vishal had experienced a brief episode of fatigue and fainting, which was attributed to his skipping his regular meal earlier that day. The actor had only consumed juice before attending the event, which likely caused his energy levels to drop.
Doctors conducted a thorough check-up on Vishal at the hospital, and the team assured the public that the actor was out of danger and in good health. “There is no cause for concern,” the statement said, further advising Vishal to maintain regular meal timings to avoid similar incidents in the future. Vishal was reported to be recovering well and resting at home.
Previous Health Concerns
This incident comes after previous concerns about Vishal’s health. In January 2025, the actor was spotted at an event looking visibly fatigued, with some videos showing his hands trembling as he spoke on stage. At that time, his team had clarified that he was simply tired and dismissed rumors about any serious illness.
Vishal’s Career and Recent Projects
Vishal, who began his career in Tamil cinema as an assistant director, quickly made a name for himself with hits such as Sandakozhi, Thimiru, Thaamirabharani, and Malaikottai. Over the years, he has not only established himself as a successful actor but also launched his own production house. He was last seen in Madha Gaja Raja, a long-awaited film that was shot in 2012 but finally released in January 2025.
Fans of the actor have expressed their support and relief following the health update, and many are wishing him a swift recovery as he takes time off to rest and regain his strength.
