Kaliagnar Karunanidhi the DM chief who ruled the party for over 50 years and worked as the CM of Tamilnadu for 5 times was just recognised with his black glasses. Even MGR was wearing black glasses, but this has got nothing to do with the MGR style.
It is reported that Karunanidhi was injured in one of the eyes and the doctors have advised him to use black shades. From then on he has been using them to cover the eyes from the light.
But that became a style statement and he was with the glasses all the time. Since last one year, he switched over to half white and half black shades. But the people know him and visualise him with the black shades and they were imported from Germany. Many day to day things like the wheelchair and other things were custom made for Karunanidhi.
Even his fans and other leaders in the party have started following with dark glasses. They think that it is a style statement and that impresses the people.
One of his sons Alagiri also follows the style of Karunanidhi with black glasses. But Stalin calls the shots and Alagiri is kept at a distance.
