Actor Pooja Hegde brought some fun to a big day for actor-turned-politician Vijay on Tuesday with two Instagram posts that quickly caught attention online. The actor, who stars opposite him in Jana Nayagan, shared a playful reel and a cheerful photograph as his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), posted a major result in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

Her posts added a light moment to a serious political day. They also pushed Jana Nayagan back into the conversation, even as talk around Vijay’s political debut gathered pace.

Pooja Hegde’s posts for Vijay

In the reel shared on Instagram, Pooja is seen pointing at a question that reads, "Who wins the elections?" She then stands next to Vijay, who hides his face while blushing. Sharing the clip, she wrote, "Guess I called it before it happened? Here’s to dreams turning into reality, Vijay sir (sic)."

Earlier in the day, she had posted a photograph with Vijay. In the picture, the two are seen in co-ordinated outfits, smiling for the cameras. Along with it, she wrote, "OMGGG. Congratulationssss @actorvijay sir. This Thalapathy Kacheri is just getting bigger and bigger. Onwards and upwards only. Party Time. Let’s gooo."

TVK’s performance in Tamil Nadu

Vijay’s party emerged as the single largest party in Tamil Nadu, winning 107 of the 234 seats and defeating the DMK and the AIADMK. However, it remained short of the majority mark of 118 needed to form the government on its own.

As the single largest party, TVK is likely to be invited by the Governor to form the government, even if it begins as a minority administration.

The election result also drew reactions from celebrities, including Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Rashmika Mandanna and AR Rahman, among others.

Jana Nayagan awaits certification

Pooja and Vijay’s social media exchange also turned attention back to Jana Nayagan. The film is yet to receive certification and has not been cleared following legal disputes between the production house and the Central Board of Film Certification.
