According to her, insecure public figures often overmove or over-gesture because they seek instant approval. Vijay, however, appeared composed and patient throughout the ceremony. “Controlled stillness psychologically says, ‘I do not need your approval immediately. I know who I am’.” Apart from body language, she also observed a shift in Vijay’s vocal delivery during the ceremony. “His voice pitch is usually medium, but during the ceremony it became lower. Lower pitch automatically makes a speaker sound more commanding and grounded,” she said.
