सुपरस्टार ते तमिळनाडूचा सेनापती: विजय थलपथी यांचा थक्क करणारा प्रवास
बालकलाकार ते 'मास' सुपरस्टार
शैक्षणिक पार्श्वभूमी
विजय यांनी त्यांचे शालेय
शिक्षण चेन्नईच्या फातिमा आणि बाललोक मॅट्रिक्युलेशन स्कूलमधून पूर्ण केले.
त्यानंतर, त्यांनी चेन्नईच्या
प्रसिद्ध लोयोला कॉलेजमध्ये 'व्हिज्युअल कम्युनिकेशन्स' या पदवी अभ्यासक्रमासाठी प्रवेश घेतला. मात्र, अभिनयाची ओढ आणि चित्रपटांमधील व्यस्ततेमुळे त्यांना हे शिक्षण
अर्धवट सोडावे लागले. हीच अभिनयाची आवड आज त्यांना यशाच्या शिखरावर घेऊन गेली आहे.
कौटुंबिक स्थैर्य
विजय यांच्या यशात
त्यांच्या कुटुंबाचा मोठा वाटा आहे. २५ ऑगस्ट १९९९ रोजी त्यांनी संगीता सोर्णलिंगम
यांच्याशी विवाह केला. त्यांना संजय आणि दिव्या साशा अशी दोन मुले आहेत. सार्वजनिक
जीवनात कितीही व्यग्र असले, तरी विजय हे नेहमीच
आपल्या कुटुंबाला प्राधान्य देताना दिसतात.
राजकीय वळण: 'तमिलगा वेत्री कळघम'चा उदय
चित्रपटांमधील यशानंतर
विजय यांनी समाजासाठी काहीतरी करण्याची ओढ कायम ठेवली. 'विजय मक्कल इयक्कम' (VMI) या फॅन क्लबच्या
माध्यमातून त्यांनी शिक्षण आणि गरजूंना मदत असे अनेक सामाजिक उपक्रम राबवले. याच
सामाजिक कामाचे रूपांतर २०२४ मध्ये एका राजकीय पक्षात झाले. त्यांनी 'तमिलगा वेत्री कळघम' (TVK) या पक्षाची अधिकृत घोषणा
केली. विशेष म्हणजे, २०२६ ची विधानसभा निवडणूक
हे त्यांचे मुख्य लक्ष्य आहे.
मुख्यमंत्री पदाचे प्रबळ दावेदार?
तामिळनाडूच्या राजकारणाला
चित्रपट कलाकारांचा एक मोठा इतिहास लाभला आहे. एम. जी. रामचंद्रन आणि जयललिता
यांनी ज्याप्रमाणे चित्रपटसृष्टीतून येत राजकारणावर आपली पकड मजबूत केली, त्याच पावलावर पाऊल ठेवत विजय पुढे चालले आहेत.
तरुणांची साथ: विजय यांची तरुणांमधील क्रेझ ही त्यांची सर्वात मोठी ताकद आहे.
प्रस्थापितांसमोर आव्हान: सध्याचे मुख्यमंत्री एम. के. स्टॅलिन (DMK) आणि विरोधी पक्ष AIADMK यांच्यासमोर विजय एक 'तिसरा प्रबळ पर्याय' म्हणून उभे राहिले आहेत.
From Superstar to 'Tamil Nadu's Commander':
Thalapathy Vijay's Astonishing Journey
(N7 News Voice), Chennai: When one
considers the South Indian film industry, the name that resonates with cheers
and adoration across the entirety of Tamil Nadu—second only to Rajinikanth—is
that of Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar, affectionately known to all as 'Thalapathy'
Vijay. His journey, which began merely as that of an actor, has today reached a
political threshold where he is being viewed as a prospective future Chief
Minister of the state.
From Child Artist to 'Mass' Superstar
Born in Chennai on June 22, 1974, Vijay
inherited a legacy steeped in the arts. His father, S.A. Chandrasekhar, was a
renowned director, while his mother, Shoba, was a singer. He received his early
immersion in the world of cinema right within his own home. After initially
working as a child artist, he made his debut as a lead actor in 1992 with the
film Naalaiya Theerpu While he delivered several hit romantic films
throughout the 1990s, movies like Ghilli and Pokkiri cemented his new
identity as an 'Action Hero.' Today, films such as Mersal, Master, and Leo —which have raked in crores at the box office—have truly elevated him to
the status of a global star.
Educational Background
Vijay completed his schooling at Fatima and
Balalok Matriculation Schools in Chennai. Subsequently, he enrolled in the
prestigious Loyola College in Chennai to pursue a degree in 'Visual
Communications.' However, driven by his passion for acting and his busy
schedule in the film industry, he was compelled to leave his studies
unfinished. It is this very passion for acting that has, today, propelled him
to the pinnacle of success.
Family Life
His family has played a significant role in
Vijay's success. On August 25, 1999, he married Sangeetha Sornalingam. The
couple has two children: a son, Sanjay, and a daughter, Divya Sasha. No matter
how busy he may be in public life, Vijay is consistently seen prioritizing his
family.
A Political Turn: The Rise of 'Tamizhaga Vetri
Kazhagam'
Following his success in films, Vijay maintained
a deep-seated desire to contribute to society. Through his fan club, the 'Vijay
Makkal Iyakkam' (VMI), he implemented numerous social initiatives, ranging from
educational programs to providing aid to the needy. In 2024, this social work
evolved into a full-fledged political party. He officially announced the
formation of the 'Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam' (TVK). Notably, his primary
objective is the 2026 Legislative Assembly election.
A Strong Contender for the Chief Minister's
Post?
Tamil Nadu's political landscape boasts a rich
history of film personalities entering and dominating the political arena. Much
like M.G. Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa—who transitioned from the film industry
to establish a firm grip on politics—Vijay is now following in their footsteps.
A Challenge to the Establishment: Vijay has
emerged as a "strong third alternative," posing a challenge to both
the incumbent Chief Minister M.K. Stalin (DMK) and the opposition party,
AIADMK.
