Trisha gets emotional

In a video shared by Vijay's fan on X, it was seen that Trisha was getting teary-eyed as Vijay delivered his address. Trisha maintained a smile even as her eyes grew watery.

Trisha headed to Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai for Vijay’s swearing-in ceremony. When a media personnel remarked that it was a ‘big day for Tamil Nadu’, she replied, “Yes. Thank you, thank you. Looking forward,” with a wide smile. Trisha’s mother, Uma Krishnan, also accompanied her. They did not answer further questions.

In his first address as Chief Minister, Vijay thanked the people of Tamil Nadu and called for a "new era" of governance.

"Come, let all of us together give Tamil Nadu a fresh new government. This is a new beginning, the start of a new era of secular, social justice," he said. Emphasising transparency and restraint in promises, he added, "I am not some divine messenger or prophet. I am just an ordinary human being living a normal life. I will never deceive you with false promises. I will only promise what is possible."

About Vijay and Trisha

They worked together again after years in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Leo (2023), where they played husband and wife. Trisha also featured in a special number, Matta, which was a callback to their hit song from Ghilli in Venkat Prabhu’s The GOAT (2024).

Trisha has been in the news for her rumoured relationship with Vijay. News broke in February that Vijay’s wife, Sangeeta, filed for divorce and accused him of having an alleged affair with an unnamed actress. In March, Vijay and Trisha wore matching outfits and attended a wedding together in Chennai. They have not publicly spoken about their relationship.
