This Mother's Day, as The new Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thalapathy Vijay balances his massive success with his new political responsibilities, his swearing-in on the special day is a coincidence. The relationship between actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay and his mother, Shoba Chandrasekhar, is a story of quiet strength, many say. Long before Tamilians bestowed superstardom and he pulled off his first political milestone, there was a young boy finding his voice under his mother's watchful eye. Shoba did not just raise a son; she nurtured an artist.
