The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium was a sea of emotion on Sunday as Tamil superstar-turned-politician Vijay took his oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Among the high-profile guests, actress Trisha Krishnan stole the spotlight, appearing visibly overjoyed throughout the ceremony. Accompanied by her mother, Uma Krishnan, Trisha was seen celebrating the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief’s landmark victory following his party’s dominant performance in the 2026 elections.
Warm Greetings and Family Ties
Viral videos from the event captured intimate moments of Trisha and her mother warmly greeting Vijay’s mother and other family members. The actress was seen exchanging hugs and at one point excitedly jumping in joy, a gesture that resonated deeply with fans on social media. Dressed in a stunning teal and gold saree with jasmine flowers in her hair, Trisha’s presence added a layer of stardust to the political proceedings. When briefly questioned by reporters earlier in the day about the significance of the occasion, she simply remarked, “Looking forward,” before heading to the venue.
Rumours and On-Screen Legacy
Trisha and Vijay have long been one of Kollywood’s most iconic on-screen pairs, having starred together in blockbusters like Ghilli, Thirupaachi, and Leo. Their appearance together at the ceremony has inevitably refuelled long-standing dating speculations that intensified earlier this year.
Reports in February suggested a shift in Vijay’s personal life, and a subsequent joint appearance at a wedding in March fueled further headlines. Despite the persistent rumors and intense media scrutiny, both stars have maintained a dignified silence, neither confirming nor denying the nature of their relationship.
A Full Circle Moment
Interestingly, fans have pointed back to a 2004 interview where a young Trisha jokingly expressed a desire to see a shift in Tamil Nadu’s leadership, telling fans to “Wait and watch.” Seeing her support Vijay at the pinnacle of his political career felt like a full-circle moment for many followers of the duo.
As Vijay begins his tenure as Chief Minister, the support from his closest industry colleagues and family highlights the unique blend of cinema and politics that continues to define the landscape of Tamil Nadu.
