Vijay’s message to Tamil Nadu Board 12th students

In a post on X, Vijay congratulated students who passed the higher secondary public examination and encouraged those who fell short not to give up.

“To my dear little brother who tasted the fruit of success through unwavering perseverance in the 12th standard public exam, heartfelt congratulations to you and your sisters!

This victory is the recognition earned by your hard work. Step forward with confidence towards the next phase of higher education. At the same time, those who couldn't achieve success this time should not lose heart. Try again. Remember that we are right on the verge of victory.

May the future of all of you shine brightly!
Good things will happen!
Success is certain!”

The actor-politician’s words quickly drew attention online, especially the line about being “right on the verge of victory,” with many supporters linking it to both students’ future hopes and TVK’s ongoing political efforts in the state.

TVK still short of majority mark

The message comes as TVK continues discussions with other political parties after the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The party emerged as the single largest party but could not cross the majority mark on its own.
