Tamil Nadu witnessed an emotional and shocking moment on election counting day after a die-hard fan of actor-politician Vijay allegedly slit his throat after hearing rumours that Vijay’s party was losing the Assembly elections.

The disturbing incident took place in Krishnagiri, where 28-year-old K Mahendran, a devoted supporter of Thalapathy Vijay, reportedly became heartbroken after false news of TVK’s defeat spread in his locality.

According to reports, Mahendran was seen in a disturbed state outside his house on Monday morning before he allegedly took the extreme step. Family members and nearby residents rushed to save him and immediately shifted him to Krishnagiri Government Medical College Hospital, where he is currently undergoing intensive treatment.

The shocking news has left Vijay fans across Tamil Nadu worried, with many social media users calling the act unfortunate and urging supporters not to take politics so personally.

Rumours Said Defeat, But TVK Was Busy Delivering The Biggest Election Surprise

What makes the incident even more heartbreaking is that while Mahendran was upset over rumours of Vijay losing, the actual counting trends were telling a completely different story.

Thalapathy Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), which entered electoral politics for the very first time, has emerged as one of the biggest shockers of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections 2026.

From early morning trends itself, TVK started racing ahead in a huge number of constituencies, leaving political experts and rival parties stunned. The ruling DMK looked under pressure, while AIADMK and TVK turned the battle into an intense three-cornered fight.

For a party that was launched only in 2024, Vijay’s rise on his debut election day has been nothing short of historic.

Vijay Had Promised A Political Revolution

Ever since Vijay announced that TVK would contest the elections independently without joining hands with BJP, DMK or AIADMK, fans had been waiting to see whether his screen popularity would convert into votes.

And now, judging by the counting trends, the actor seems to have pulled off exactly that.

TVK leaders have already expressed confidence that the party is here to stay and may completely change Tamil Nadu’s political future.

This Incident Has Left Everyone Emotional

Even as TVK workers celebrate Vijay’s massive performance, Mahendran’s suicide attempt has cast a painful shadow on the day.

The incident is a reminder of how deeply some fans connect emotionally with their favourite stars, especially when those stars step into politics.

Many people online are now requesting Vijay fans to remain calm and understand that no election result is worth risking one’s life.

As of now, Vijay has not reacted publicly to the incident, but the news has already become one of the most talked-about and heartbreaking stories linked to Tamil Nadu election day.
