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

Joseph VijayConsidering that the post of Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu was indeed the most important event in his career, it also affected his family. Shortly after taking office in May 2026, says Joseph Vijay met his father, SA Chandrasekhar, who is known as a professional film maker. According to his mother, Shoba Chandrasekhar, this was Joseph’s first time meeting his father after he became the Supreme Leader. Instead, it was a simple and heartfelt question that reflected the long journey they had traveled together as a family.

Vijay asks if he fulfilled his father’s dream

Talking about the memorable moment with Galatta, Shoba revealed that Vijay turned to his father and asked, “Have I fulfilled your dream?” According to him, SA Chandrasekhar replied with a smile and a nod. That brief conversation took years of thoughts and memories. Shoba explained that her husband thought about Vijay’s future before politics. The family’s faith in Vijay’s leadership is said to have grown after his philanthropic initiatives years ago, which led to his decision to enter politics.

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

Shoba also recalled the difficulties the family faced when Vijay announced his political intentions. He said that many people doubt whether a successful actor can make a positive change in politics. “We knew that several people entered politics with big dreams and struggled to succeed. But when we saw the support that Vijay had in Tamil Nadu, we felt confident about his future,” he said. According to him, the criticism that Vijay faced on his entry into politics reminded the family of the negative comments he faced soon after entering the film industry. However, Vijay chose to remain calm and composed in both the outings.

From cinema superstar to Chief Minister

Reflecting on her son’s transformation, Shoba said Vijay always made his priorities clear. He explained: “For Vijay, it was always either sports or politics. After years of success in cinema, Vijay left films to focus on society. 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 her father after taking office has now become one of the most talked about moments from her incredible journey from star to Prime Minister.
