It was US Vice President Kamala Harris' time to shine on the biggest night of her political life on Thursday as she accepted the Democratic presidential nomination before an ecstatic crowd. As she pledged a "new way forward", watching her acceptance speech from continents away in Chennai was her maternal aunt Dr Sarala Gopalan.
Dr Gopalan, affectionately called 'chitthi' - Tamil word for mother's sister - by Kamala Harris, expressed pride in her niece's accomplishments and the values instilled by her sister.
"I am proud of my daughter," Mr Gopala, who remembered Kamala Harris as a "nice, thoughtful child", told NDTV.
