Late Tamil comedian Vivek's wife has on Monday - April 25 met Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin at the latter's office in Chief Secretariat and submitted a petition. Vivek's wife Arulselvi was accompanied by actor Cell Murugan and her kids. 

In her petition, Arulselvi has requested Chief Minister MK Stalin to name the road, where the actor's house is situated, after Vivek.
