Sarathkumar Claims His Own Speech As 'Joke' After Getting Trolled; Asks 'Can Anyone Live Upto 150 Years?'

Sarathkumar Claims His Own Speech As A 'Joke': When Sarathkumar said that he will live till 150 years old, his speech went viral on social media. Now he replied to the controversial statement and called it as a joke.

'I'm Just 25 Years Old'

Speaking at the general committee meeting of the Samathuva Makkal Katchi held in Madurai recently, party leader Sarath Kumar said, "I am 69 years old now and nearing 70 years. But, I am still thinking myself as a 25-year-old person and I will live to be 150 years. I can be like that. I have learned the trick.

I will tell that gimmick when you enthrone me in 2026 assembly elections," he said. His speech went viral on social media and attracted attention.

'Impossible To Live Upto 150 Years'

In this case, Sarathkumar, speaking to the media after the trailer launch of the film 'Por Thozhil', said, "While speaking in a meeting, I told in a comical way to ease the tension of the people around me. I am surprised when what I said becomes such a big news. Just think if someone can live for 150 years.

There have been many changes starting from our food habits to our lifestyle. It is the younger generation who are more prone to fall ill. It is a wonder that a man can stay healthy till the age of 70. Our ancestors two generations ago may have lived to a much older age. Living to the age of 150 in this period is an impossibility. In highlands where healthy diets exist, living to 90 years may be possible. It is difficult in the environment we are in."

When asked about his dream to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, "A party worker has a desire to see his party leader as the Chief Minister. I have that desire too. This cannot be denied. Why lie? I will try it. Anyone can try," he said.
