At the flag unveiling ceremony of the Thalapathy Vijay Makkal Iyakkam (TVK), Vijay’s mother, Shobha Chandrasekhar, made a light-hearted comment that has since captured the attention of fans and media alike. With a beaming smile, she quipped, “Earlier I was a CM, now I’m a PM,” during her interactions with the press.
The event, held at the TVK office in Panaiyur, Chennai, saw Vijay officially launching his party’s flag in the presence of his parents, Shobha and S.A. Chandrasekhar. The ceremony, which began at 9:15 AM, was a significant moment in Vijay’s political journey, marked by the presence of his supportive parents.
A Moment of Blessing and Reflection
Arriving well before the start of the event, Vijay’s parents were greeted warmly by the party’s core team. Pussy Anand, a close associate of Vijay, went as far as to fall at their feet, seeking their blessings—a moment that highlighted the respect and reverence within the party ranks.
Seated among the party’s key officials, Shobha and Chandrasekhar were given special attention. Despite their central role in the event, Vijay himself maintained a low profile, choosing not to engage with his parents initially. It was only during the concluding moments of his speech that he acknowledged their presence, saying, “I thank my mother and father for gracing this event,” before quickly exiting the stage.
A Viral Moment: A Mother’s Love Ignored?
In a moment that has since gone viral on social media, Shobha Chandrasekhar was seen trying to catch her son’s attention, holding his hand and attempting to speak to him. However, Vijay, seemingly preoccupied, walked away, leaving his mother’s gesture unreciprocated. The video of this interaction has sparked a flurry of discussions online, with fans expressing mixed reactions—some viewing it as a sign of Vijay’s focus, others as a rare public display of family tension.
Shobha Chandrasekhar’s Heartfelt Message
In her interaction with the media, Shobha was all smiles, brimming with pride for her son’s accomplishments. “Vijay, stay true to yourself always, even if you become the ruler of this nation. You will always be my child first,” she said, her voice filled with warmth and affection. She further advised her son to uphold Tamil culture, protect women’s rights, and implement revolutionary policies that would benefit the people.
Concluding her remarks with a touch of humor, Shobha added, “Your flag soaring in the sky today is just the first step towards your political success. I was already a CM—a Celebrity Mother. Now, I’m a PM—a Proud Mother.” Her words, filled with a mix of maternal pride and witty charm, were met with applause and have since become a talking point among fans and followers.
A Mother’s Pride Amidst a Son’s Political Ascent
As Vijay’s political career begins to take shape, the presence and support of his parents, especially his mother Shobha, adds an emotional layer to his journey. Her cheerful banter and heartfelt words at the event not only highlight her unwavering support for her son but also reflect the deep-rooted pride she carries as he steps into the political arena.
Whether Vijay’s brief interaction with his mother will continue to spark debate or be seen as a moment of focus remains to be seen. However, one thing is clear—Shobha Chandrasekhar is enjoying every moment of her son’s rising political stardom, and she isn’t shy about letting the world know.
