A major political win, but a quiet celebration. Fresh off a historic political debut, actor-turned-politician Vijay chose to celebrate the moment quietly with his family instead of holding a large political gathering.
The Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief, whose party delivered a body blow to the ruling DMK in the 2026 Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, went directly to his parents' home in Chennai after the results were declared. Vijay won from both the Perambur and Trichy East constituencies.
Upon reaching home, he sought his father's blessings and spent time with close family members, including relatives and children. Videos of the celebration quickly surfaced on social media, showing Vijay dressed in a simple white shirt paired with off-white pants.

Later, as Vijay stepped out of his residence, he was greeted by loud cheers from supporters. He responded with a smile, waved at the crowd, and folded his hands in gratitude.
In pictures going viral, Vijay is seen sharing warm and candid moments with his parents and extended family. The images capture him seated with family members on a sofa, interacting closely with relatives, and standing alongside them for group pictures.
