The atmosphere around Vijay becoming Tamil Nadu’s new Chief Minister was already massive on Sunday, but it was Trisha Krishnan who quietly grabbed a huge share of attention even before reaching the venue. The actor was spotted leaving her Chennai residence in a cheerful mood as cameras and reporters gathered outside, and her appearance instantly became one of the most talked-about moments linked to Vijay’s political milestone.
Dressed in a teal-blue saree with gold detailing paired alongside a cream blouse, Trisha looked calm but visibly excited while heading to Chennai’s Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium for the swearing-in ceremony. Media personnel waiting outside her residence called it a “big day for Tamil Nadu,” and Trisha responded with a bright smile, saying, “Yes… thank you, thank you. Looking forward.” Even though she avoided answering additional questions, her expression alone was enough to fuel fresh conversation online.
Her mother, Uma Krishnan, accompanied her during the departure, and videos from outside the residence quickly began circulating across social media platforms. In one clip, Trisha can be seen smiling continuously even after entering the car while casually scrolling through her phone. Police presence outside the actor’s residence also caught attention, with security reportedly tightened due to the public crowd and media rush surrounding the event.
Once she reached the venue, Trisha was seen greeting guests from the Tamil film industry and political circles. Cameras also captured her warmly meeting Vijay’s mother, Shoba Chandrasekhar, along with other members of the family. Those visuals immediately became viral among fans who have spent months speculating about the closeness between Vijay and Trisha.
Their rumoured relationship has remained one of Kollywood’s biggest talking points this year. Earlier in February, reports emerged claiming Vijay’s wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, had filed for divorce after nearly three decades of marriage. The reports alleged infidelity and linked the situation to an unnamed actress, though no official confirmation ever came from either side. Soon after, public appearances involving Vijay and Trisha only intensified the speculation.
In March, both stars attended a wedding reception in Chennai wearing matching cream-and-gold outfits, and fans quickly treated it as an unofficial confirmation of their relationship. The rumours had already been growing for months whenever Trisha posted pictures connected to Vijay or when the two were seen together at high-profile events, including Keerthy Suresh’s wedding celebrations.
Interestingly, the speculation also triggered reactions from within the film industry itself. Filmmaker R. Parthiban and actor-director Samuthirakani reportedly voiced concerns that Vijay’s personal life and the ongoing rumours could eventually impact his political image. Despite that, the actor’s political rise continued strongly through the election season.
At one point, rumours even claimed that Trisha was planning to leave films altogether after getting married. The actor later mocked the gossip through a sarcastic social media post, joking that she had apparently “quit films, married a rich businessman and was raising quadruplets.” The post quickly went viral because of how directly she mocked the nonstop speculation around her personal life.
Meanwhile, Vijay’s political journey itself has become historic for Tamil cinema and Tamil Nadu politics alike. After launching Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, the superstar transformed his massive fan following into serious electoral momentum. The party performed strongly in the Tamil Nadu elections held in April, though it initially struggled to secure enough support to form the government independently. Post-election alliances with Congress and other parties eventually helped TVK cross the required numbers.
Now, with Vijay officially taking oath as Chief Minister, many see this moment as the beginning of a completely new chapter not only for Tamil politics but also for Kollywood itself. And amid all the political celebration, Trisha’s smiling appearance at the ceremony ended up becoming one of the day’s biggest entertainment headlines too.
