Moments after US vice president elect Kamala Harris made her speech, her maternal aunt Dr Sarala Gopalan, whom she had fondly referred as Chithi in her acceptance speech spoke to NDTV's Sam Daniel in Chennai. "We are very happy and thrilled. I miss my sister Shyamala, who made Kamala what she is today; she would've broken down and cried out of happiness… We knew she was going to win, but we didn't know when it would be declared. We haven't spoken with Kamala yet, but her accomplishment means a lot to the family," Dr Gopalan said, adding that she would soon visit the family temple in Tamil Nadu's Thulasendrapuram to offer prayers.
