Popular Tamil actor Vishal gave fans a threat after collapsing on stage during the Miss Koovagam Transgender Beauty Contest held in Villupuram, Tamil Nadu on Sunday. The actor was attending the event as a special guest when he fainted unexpectedly. He was given immediate help from his team and organisers, including former minister K Ponmudy.

Vishal was rushed to a nearby private hospital, where he received emergency treatment. According to his manager, Hari, the incident may have been caused by the actor skipping a meal. His condition is reported to be stable, although no official medical statement has been released yet.

The episode comes just months after Vishal's recovery from dengue in January 2025. Fans, who had recently noted his visibly frail appearance, have taken to social media to express concern and offer prayers for his speedy recovery.
