Shoba reveals Vijay’s first question to his father SA Chandrasekhar after being sworn in as Tamil Nadu CM |

Joseph VijayTaking over as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu was a major milestone in his career, but it also meant a lot to his family. Shortly after assuming office in May 2026, it is said that Joseph Vijay had a very emotional meeting with his father, SA Chandrasekhar who is known to be a renowned filmmaker. According to his mother, Shoba Chandrasekhar, this was Joseph’s first meeting with his father after he became the Prime Minister. Instead, it was a simple and heartfelt question that reflected the long journey they had traveled together as a family.

Vijay asked if he had fulfilled his father’s dream

Talking about the memorable moment with Galatta, Shoba revealed that Vijay turned to his father and asked, “Have I finally fulfilled your dream?” According to her, SA Chandrasekhar replied with a smile and a nod. That brief exchange brought back years of emotions and memories. Shoba explained that her husband had envisioned a political future for Vijay long before politics became a reality. The family’s belief in Vijay’s leadership qualities grew stronger after the launch of his fan welfare activities years ago, eventually leading to his decision to enter active politics.

The family faced doubts and criticism during Vijay’s political journey

Shoba also recalled the challenges the family faced when Vijay announced his political ambitions. He said many people wondered whether a successful actor could make a smooth transition into politics. “We knew that several people had entered politics with big dreams and were struggling to succeed. But when we saw the support Vijay enjoyed in Tamil Nadu, we felt confident about his future,” he said. According to her, the criticism Vijay faced during his political entry reminded the family of the negative comments he encountered when he first entered the film industry. However, Vijay chose to remain calm and focused on both trips.

From movie superstar to chief minister

Reflecting on her son’s transformation, Shoba said Vijay had always been clear about his priorities. “For Vijay, it was always acting or politics. He never wanted to do both at the same time,” he explained. After years of success in cinema, Vijay moved away from films to fully concentrate on public life. His victory in the 2026 Assembly elections marked the beginning of a new chapter, not only for him but also for his family. The emotional conversation with his father after taking office has now become one of the most talked about moments of his remarkable journey from superstar to prime minister.
