With counting trends continuing to favour Vijay and his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, celebrations have extended beyond party cadres and supporters into his immediate family. As the actor edges closer to securing a majority in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, his parents have publicly shared their pride and optimism about what lies ahead.
Veteran filmmaker and actor S. A. Chandrasekhar, speaking to ANI, expressed confidence in his son’s ability to bring about meaningful change. “He will definitely do a big change in Tamil Nadu. I am confident about that.” His remarks reflect both a personal belief in Vijay’s transition from cinema to politics and a broader expectation that accompanies such a high-profile entry into public life.

Vijay’s mother Shoba Chandrasekhar echoed the sentiment, stating she was “very happy” with the results so far. Chandrasekhar added a more intimate note to the moment, saying, “She is not only his mother, but is also the first fan of Vijay.”
The atmosphere at the family’s residence has mirrored the larger mood among supporters. Relatives gathered to celebrate as trends continued to favour the party. One of Vijay’s cousins described the victory as both significant and expected, citing the trust people have placed in him. “He is a young and energetic person and everyone in Tamil Nadu is expecting that the biggest change through him and definitely we believe that he can do the best among everybody… In his last speech, he said the last speech that people believe in me so much… What he speaks about before the election, he will definitely make sure that it happens… It is an enormous victory.”
Earlier in the day, ahead of the counting process, S. A. Chandrasekhar had visited the Subramanyaswamy Temple to offer prayers, a gesture that added a spiritual dimension to what is shaping up to be a crucial day for the family.

Industry presence and constituency leads add to the momentum
Even as celebrations gathered pace, developments around Vijay’s campaign continued to draw attention. Actor Trisha Krishnan visited Vijay’s residence in Panaiyur during the day, a move that quickly became a talking point. The visit coincided with her birthday, marking her 43rd year, and followed an earlier trip to the Tirupati Temple. While some speculated about a political connection to her temple visit, others maintained it was a personal ritual tied to the occasion. Her appearance at Vijay’s residence, however, has added to the visibility of support from the film fraternity.
On the electoral front, Vijay’s position appears strong. His party has fielded candidates across all 234 constituencies in the state, signalling an ambitious first outing. Vijay himself is contesting from two key constituencies, Perambur and Tiruchirappalli East, and is currently leading in both. These early leads have strengthened the narrative that his entry into politics has translated into tangible electoral traction.

As the day progresses, the focus now shifts to the official confirmation from the Election Commission of India. However, the reactions so far, from family members to colleagues and supporters, indicate that this moment is already being viewed as a milestone. For Vijay, the transition from a dominant screen presence to a potential administrative role appears closer than ever, backed by both public mandate and visible support from those around him.
