The sudden and tragic demise of actor Vivek has left his friends, family, and millions of fans completely shocked. An ace comedian who made his entry into cinema as a writer back in the 80s, Vivek has left a grand legacy behind him that is sure to motivate many coming generations. Following the news of his passing, many of his colleagues have expressed deep grief and have also shared their fond memories of encountering the actor's genius. In this vein, veteran actor Ramesh Aravind too left a heartfelt note for the actor who incidentally started out in Tamil cinema alongside Vivek. While speaking about his memories of the late comedian, Ramesh Aravind said: "We started our careers together. We were both launched by K Balachander sir in 'Manadil Urudhi Vendum'. We both played Suhasini's brothers in the film and it was a silver jubilee hit at that time. He was a very intelligent guy, who was also interested in books and a lot of other things. We used to share common interests, which allowed us to have those talks. What I like about him the most is humor with intelligence, which is very rare. He knew how to talk right, with the necessary humor matched with good messages and connect with the audience. While we both went on our separate paths afterward and used to interact not as often, our initial days will always be memorable. He has left an indelible mark on humor in Tamil." Indeed, the loss of such a great talent is felt by many who deem Vivek's passing as a great tragedy. With the Tamil film fraternity paying sincere tributes to the actor, his colleagues and admirers from other industries too have expressed regret and grief over the matter. Here's wishing actor Vivek's family all the strength and courage to endure this heavy loss.
