Vijay Antony's 16-year-old daughter Meera Antony was laid to rest at a church in Nungambakkam, Chennai on Wednesday. She allegedly died by suicide at her Teynampet residence on September 19. In his first statement post the tragedy, the Tamil actor and composer remembered his child fondly.

Vijay issued a statement in Tamil. It loosely translates to, "My dear people, my daughter Meera is a loving and brave girl. She is now in a better and silent place where caste, creed, money, jealousy, pain, poverty and animosity are not there. She is still talking to me. I have died with her. I have now started spending time for her. I will now do good things on her behalf and she will kickstart them."
