Actor Vadivelu, whose character Neasamani in the film Friends has been trending on Twitter since Wednesday evening, remained clueless about the tweet storm centered around him. “In one day, they (Twitterati) seem to have made me more famous than Modi, on his swearing-in day,” he remarked in surprise when told that his name was trending worldwide with the international press also picking up the Twitter thread. He knows for sure that performing comedy was a ‘God-given gift’ and it was his life mission to make people laugh. “My job is a super job,” the ace comedian told The Hindu in a telephonic interview on Thursday, after tweets of #pray_for_Naesamani trended on Twitter worldwide. “I am a person who makes people laugh. People should laugh and be happy, that’s my goal,” he said. Mr. Vadivelu said all the fame for Neasamani should go to the film’s director Siddique. “They came up with dialogues for the character. Basically, they give me the sambhar and I added seasoning to it. That comes naturally to me,” he said.
