Thalapathy Vijay’s teacher reveals the shy student behind the aggressive screen persona

The teacher says Vijay was nothing like his films

Thalapathy Vijay has turned political and won Perambur and Trichy East with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. But his former teacher, Vasantha, paints a very different picture from the actor’s aggressive on-screen roles. She recalls Vijay as shy, obedient, and helpful, highlighting his organizational skills and warm nature—qualities that now fuel her pride in his rise.
