In an exclusive interview with Behindwoods, the author of Vijay Jeitha Kadhai, Sabitha Joseph revealed about the early days of Vijay. "He was born in the govt. hospital near Egmore. He was not born with a silver spoon. Immediately after he was born, his parents were unable to afford an auto-rickshaw from the hospital to their home. His mother had to carry him in a bus. She used a cot made of cloth to put him to sleep."
 

He also added that, although Vijay's kids have access to luxuries, Vijay's life started from scratch.  He has written about this in the book. The book talks about interesting anecdotes from Vijay's life, and how humble he is as a person in real life.
