By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 13 Jun 2026 7:36 PM ISTTamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has once again grabbed public attention with his simple and unique style. Even after becoming the Chief Minister, Vijay continues to show that he prefers staying connected with ordinary people rather than following strict political traditions.
Recently, Vijay visited the famous Mookambika Temple in Karnataka. After completing his visit, he traveled from Kollur to Mangaluru Airport, a distance of around 130 kilometers. What made this journey special was that Vijay drove his own luxury convoy vehicle instead of sitting in the back seat while a driver handled the trip.
Videos of the journey quickly spread across social media platforms. Many people were surprised to see a sitting Chief Minister driving his own vehicle on a national highway. The clips soon became viral, with supporters praising his confidence and simplicity.
In India, it is common for Chief Ministers and other top political leaders to travel with heavy security arrangements. Roads are often cleared, traffic is controlled, and official drivers take charge of the vehicles. Vijay’s decision to personally drive the car was seen as a break from this traditional protocol culture.
Political observers believe the move may also help strengthen Vijay’s image as a leader who remains close to the people. Many citizens feel that such actions make leaders appear more approachable and relatable. The visuals of Vijay behind the steering wheel created a strong impression among the public.
Vijay was already one of South India’s biggest film stars before entering politics. After launching his political journey, he achieved remarkable success and eventually became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Despite holding one of the most powerful positions in the state, he continues to project a simple lifestyle.
