Vijay’s political success has made the day the election results come in feel like a moment from celebrity culture. TVK is in the lead in over 100 seats, and are getting close to the 117 needed for a win and as a result, a lot of people are talking online. People are discussing Vijay’s rise, Trisha’s birthday happening at the same time, and the fact that Roja is ‘trending’ on the internet for negative reasons.
Vibes Online: Victory Meets Birthday
Fans are celebrating the strong initial result, and are saying it’s a birthday present for Trisha Krishnan whose birthday is on May 4th. Lots of internet memes, altered pictures and fan art show her as being unexpectedly the main focus of the night, boosted by Vijay’s success.
People in the film industry have even joined in. Actor Tiger Shroff posted a message congratulating Vijay, praising the trust people have in him, and wishing him well for what he does next. This support from Tiger Shroff has added to the large amount of news and discussion.
What The Numbers Signal
The final count is not complete yet, but TVK is in a strong position. A party needs 117 seats to be able to form a government, and the big question now is whether Vijay’s party can get to 117 seats on their own, or if they will need help from other parties. Either way, the fact that a new party is the main thing people are discussing is the biggest story.
Here are the essentials viewers are tracking tonight:
– TVK leading in over 100 seats
– Magic figure to form government is 117
– Counting is still underway
– Trisha’s birthday is on May 4
– Internet says the day feels like a gift
Vijay decided to get into politics after saying he would stop making films after his next and final film, his 69th, called Jana Nayagan. Now that people are so enthusiastic, fans think Jana Nayagan will be released soon, and that the end of his film career will match the start of his political one.
Why Trisha And Roja Are Trending
In the weeks before the election, unconfirmed stories about Vijay and Trisha led to a lot of gossip. When they both appeared in public together, many thought it was a bad move for his political campaign. But the results show that wasn’t the case. This gossip didn’t stop his success, and the fact that her birthday is at the same time has kept Trisha in the public eye.
Roja is being discussed for a very different reason. Supporters of the TDP (another political party) who have often criticized her as someone who brings bad luck have said that her being involved in the campaign actually harmed the DMK (the party she campaigned for). They say that the DMK is losing, and that MK Stalin and Udhaynidhi Stalin (both from the DMK) are currently behind in the count, and they are using this to support their view.
The Stakes For Politics And Pop Culture
How enthusiastic people are is very noticeable. One person on the internet said Vijay is now more important than MGR and Jayalalithaa (both previous leaders of Tamil Nadu), and pointed to the fact that he only did 10 campaign events, a few public drives and a small number of meetings as proof of a change in the people of the current generation. Another person said his popularity as a film star is the explanation for the numbers, and said that films he’s been in have earned 100 crore (a large amount of money) from just one state.
His supporters are already saying he will run to be the chief minister. People who don’t agree with him say it’s too soon to say. The next few hours will show whether TVK can reach 117 seats by themselves or need to find other parties to work with. For now, it’s very clear online that Vijay has changed how political campaigns are done, Trisha is the centre of attention, and Roja continues to cause disagreement.
