"He never had 1% of doubt": Vijay's father on TVK's landmark win

It is school result day. You dress up, caught between anticipation and thrill, as your parents get ready to take you to collect your report card. They are hoping for the best, and if yours is a religious household, a prayer or two has almost certainly been said.

That is precisely how Monday began for actor Vijay and his father, SA Chandrasekhar.

Before the counting got under way, the father and son duo visited the Subramanyaswamy Temple in Tiruttani to offer prayers. Hours later, the results came in, and by most scales, Vijay passed his political debut with top marks.

Speaking to news agency ANI after the trends emerged, Chandrasekhar was every bit the proud father. "First of all, as a father, I'm very proud and happy. Totally, me and my wife, because my wishes to my son because I've been seeing his confidence level over the last two years."

The actor's father recalled TVK chief telling him "I will be the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu." (www.ndtv.com)
