Vijay’s mother says actor became quieter after sister’s death

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s mother says actor Vijay was “mischievous” earlier in life and became quieter after the death of his younger sister, Vidhya, in 1984. According to the account, Vijay’s father, S. A. Chandrasekhar—who is described as having worked as an assistant director—was away on work at the time of Vidhya’s death. The comments link the family’s period of grief to a change in Vijay’s behaviour, describing him as gradually growing more reserved after the incident. The reporting presents this as a personal recollection from the Chief Minister’s mother, with no additional public details about the circumstances of Vidhya’s death beyond the year and family context. The two sources reiterate the same core points: Vijay’s earlier personality was lively, his demeanour shifted after his sister’s death, and his father was reportedly working away when the tragedy occurred.
