Seeing him today was an emotional moment for me. Seeing my brother as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu was emotional for me as an elder sister. When he hugged me and called me ‘didi,’ I felt truly happy,” she said.Although Vijay and his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) have always described Kushboo’s BJP as their “ideological enemy,” she maintained that he would usher in a new era for the state. She noted, “Regarding his leadership, it’s clear that he will bring significant change to Tamil Nadu as the Chief Minister. We see a very transparent government today. Everyone is focused on their work. He doesn’t prioritise personal relationships and focuses solely on what’s best for the people.”அவரை பார்த்த உடன் எனக்கு சற்று எமோஷனலாக இருந்தது, அவர் என்னை கட்டி அணைத்துக் கொண்டு “தீதி” என்று சொல்லும்போது மிகவும் சந்தோஷமாக இருந்தது ! ❤️~ நடிகை/அரசியல்வாதி குஷ்பூ @TVKVijayHQ | @TVKPartyHQ pic.twitter.com/RZQ3luorAU— Prakash Vijay (@PrakazVijay_Of) May 25, 2026‘Mutual love and respect forever’Following her meeting with Vijay, Kushboo also shared a post on social media.
