Meet Sivanesan (36), from Thoothukudi. An impressive résumé — M.Tech from NIT Calicut, MBA from IIM Calicut. A man who once contested elections in 2021 & 2024 as an independent candidate, and is now a member of Vijay’s TVK party. But today, he’s not making headlines for his achievements. He’s in the spotlight for the worst possible reason: spreading fake news on social media.
In India’s corporate world, one single FIR is enough to end a dream career. Whether guilty or not, once your name appears in the police registry, your CV is permanently stained. That’s the harsh truth.
1. 🚔 The arrest That Changed Everything
For spreading fake news, Sivanesan has been arrested. Doesn’t matter if it was blind loyalty, political zeal, or just recklessness — the law doesn’t care. One FIR = permanent tag.
2. 🏢 The corporate Guillotine: Background Verification
Big companies don’t gamble on reputations. During background checks:
• Educational credentials are verified directly with universities.
• Pending FIRs or cases are flagged.
And once flagged, it’s game over. Even if the court acquits you later, the “record” is enough to blacklist you.
3. 💼 No Fortune 500 Job, Only Small Firms
• Forget multinational corporations, unicorns, or Fortune 500 jobs. The only option left is:
• Small local companies with no serious HR checks
• Freelancing
• Entrepreneurship (with stigma attached)
• The reality: once your background check fails, your file doesn’t move ahead. HRs won’t risk their brand for your fandom mistakes.
4. 🤯 The Irony: Elite Degrees, Wasted Dreams
An NIT + IIM combo is considered a golden ticket in India. Years of hard work, sleepless nights, and intense competition. And yet, in one reckless move — gone. A lifetime of privilege swapped for permanent suspicion.
5. 🎭 The Dark Side of Fandom
This isn’t about Vijay or any other celebrity. This is about blind fanaticism.
When loyalty to a star or party overshadows common sense, the fan doesn’t just lose money or time — he loses his identity, employability, and future.
⚡ Closing Punch: From Degrees to Debris
Sivanesan’s fall is a brutal reminder:
👉 One FIR can erase decades of struggle.
👉 One blind act of fandom can ruin a lifetime of career prospects.
In the end, multinational HRs won’t care about your love for Vijay. They’ll only care about your police record. And that, sadly, is the difference between a career in boardrooms and a life on the margins.
