Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has become the centre of attention after a video showing him examining a miniature electric SUV went viral on social media. The candid moment took place during an official meeting with representatives of Vietnamese electric vehicle maker VinFast, where the Chief Minister was presented with a scale model of the VinFast VF8 electric SUV.
The miniature vehicle was gifted by Pham Sanh Chau, CEO of VinFast Asia Operations, as a souvenir during the meeting. Instead of simply accepting the gift, Vijay was seen closely inspecting the model and smiling as he held it, a gesture that quickly resonated with viewers online.
The VinFast VF8 is the company’s premium all-electric SUV, sold in several international markets. The meeting with VinFast comes as the automaker expands its presence in India and explores opportunities in the country’s fast-growing electric vehicle market.
Clips of Vijay’s interaction with the miniature car have been widely shared across social media platforms, with many users describing the moment as “cute” and appreciating the Chief Minister’s natural and humble demeanor. The video has added another memorable public moment to Vijay’s growing popularity.
