Pooja Hegde Predicts Vijay's Election Victory in Behind-the-Scenes Video

The fact that this is the actor-turned-politician's first election made the win even more special.

However, his 'Jana Nayagan' co-star Pooja Hegde claimed that she had predicted Vijay's win in advance.

Taking to her official Instagram handle, Pooja dropped a behind-the-scenes video from the set of "Jana Nayagan", where she was seen playfully suggesting that Vijay would win the election.

The 'Deva' actress pointed to a question on a whiteboard that read, "Who wins the elections?" Next, Pooja stood in front of Vijay and winked at him, suggesting he and his party would win the election.

This adorable gesture made Vijay blush. Embarrassed, he covered his face and walked away.

"Guess I called it before it happened? Here's to dreams turning into reality, Vijay sir @actorvijay (sic)," Pooja captioned the post.

Before this, Pooja published a photo featuring herself with Vijay on her Instagram Stories, along with the text, "Congratulations actor Vijay sir. This Thalapathy Kacheri is just getting bigger and bigger. Onwards and upwards only. Party time. Let's gooo."

For the unversed, Vijay managed to win not one, but two constituencies where he chose to contest, Perambur in Chennai and Tiruchirappalli East.

Besides Pooja, many members from the entertainment world decided to send their wishes to Vijay through social media posts.

Actor Riteish Deshmukh congratulated Vijay, saying, "The verdict is out !! Huge congratulations to @actorvijay on this incredible and monumental victory. May the force be with you, may you tirelessly work for the good of the people."

Keerthy Suresh added, "You don't get here by just being loved, but by also being hated. Through the noise & all that hatred, you never gave up & always showed up. This is pure hard work, commitment and passion for the people. Like I've said before, you're an emotion & this win is a testament to that very statement & the start of a new legacy!"
