After paying his respects, Karthi addressed the media and asked everyone to drive safe, "Please do not travel at night. At any cost, avoid traveling during the night. Postpone your work and start only during the day. Life is more important than traveling to a place."

He added, "Jeevan didn't have a father; he had only his mother. Now, I will take care of the family. But who will compensate for the loss?"

Karthi saw a huge success with his latest release Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru, which opened to great reviews. The news of his fan's death has come as a huge shock to the actor.
