Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay hoisted the National Flag at the Independence Day celebrations at Fort St George in Chennai on Saturday morning.

What caught everyone's attention was Trisha sitting alongside Vijay's parents, SA Chandrasekhar and Shobha Chandrasekhar.

Several photos and videos from the Independence Day celebrations surfaced online, offering a glimpse of Trisha's presence at the event. In one video, Trisha was seen sitting alongside Vijay's father, SA Chandrasekhar, and his mother, Shobha Chandrasekhar. She wore a yellow saree paired with a green blouse, completing her look by tying her hair in a bun adorned with a gajra. She appeared to be in a cheerful mood.

In February this year, reports emerged that Vijay's wife of nearly three decades, Sangeetha Sornalingam, had filed for divorce, citing alleged infidelity and referring to an unnamed actress. Days later, in March, Vijay and Trisha wore matching cream and gold outfits while attending a wedding reception in Chennai, further fuelling dating rumours. For months, fans continued to speculate about their relationship, particularly when Trisha shared pictures with Vijay or when the two attended Keerthy Suresh's wedding together.

However, in a recent development, Sangeetha reportedly withdrew her divorce petition filed before the Chengalpattu Family Court. The court subsequently closed the case after she confirmed that she did not wish to pursue the petition further. Reports said Sangeetha appeared before the court via video conference, while Vijay was represented by his counsel.
