Trisha shares official statement

The statement from her lawyer read, "Under the instructions from my client, Ms. Trisha Krishnan, a renowned Indian film actress, I am issuing this communique to place on record the following:

1. This is with reference to the distasteful comment about my client which is circulating in the media.
2. My client never expected such distasteful and inappropriate remark would be made by a person holding a high stature in the State's political space.
3. My client makes it very clear that she is not affiliated with any political party neither does she intend to be. Further, just as my client had continuosly maintained in the past, she has always taken a neutral stand when it comes to politics.
4. My client wishes to be defined only by her craft and not by any alleged political alignment. Further and most importantly, it is common saying that personal lives should never be made the subject of public commentary or discourse, and it is expected that persons holding high positions maintain responsibility and equanimity in public discourse.
5. It is requested that my client's name not be drawn into matters that do not concern her."

In the caption, Trisha added, “Disrespect should and always will be called out.”

Trisha and her equation with actor Vijay has received immense attention. The two have been a popular on-screen couple, working together in films like Ghilli and Leo. She also appeared in a cameo role in The GOAT. Vijay married Sangeetha in 1999, and they have two children, Sanjay and Divya.

Meanwhile, Vijay announced the launch of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), and stated his intent to contest the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

On the work front, Trisha starred in Vidaamuyarchi, Good Bad Ugly and Thug Life this year. She will soon star in Vishwambhara and Karuppu.
