Actor Trisha Krishnan attended the swearing-in ceremony of her rumoured boyfriend and actor-turned-politician Vijay at Chennai’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Sunday. Vijay took the oath as the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Recently, the actress shared her first post after the politician’s political achievement.

What’s Happening

• Trisha Krishnan shared a series of photos of herself from the oath-taking ceremony. 
• For the ceremony, Trisha wore a seafoam-green saree paired with a blouse featuring golden motifs.
• She styled her hair in a neatly tied bun adorned with a white gajra and completed her traditional look with jewellery featuring red stones and subtle makeup.
• However, it was her caption that grabbed the Internet’s attention. 
• It read, “The love is always louder.”

Background

Vijay is set to assume office after his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), secured 118 seats in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The party crossed the majority mark with support from Congress, CPI, CPI(M), VCK and IUML.

Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar formally appointed Vijay as the Chief Minister on Saturday and asked him to prove his majority in the Assembly before May 13.

Vijay’s parents also shared their happiness ahead of the swearing-in ceremony. Director S. A. Chandrasekhar said he was looking forward to seeing his son take oath as Chief Minister, while Vijay’s mother Sobha Chandrasekhar described the moment as emotional as it coincides with Mother’s Day.

With the formation of TVK’s first government, Vijay will become the first leader outside the DMK and AIADMK alliances to head the Tamil Nadu government since 1967.

About Vijay And Trisha Krishnan

Vijay and Trisha are among the most popular on-screen pairs in the Tamil film industry. They have appeared together in Ghilli, Thirupaachi, Aathi, Kuruvi and most recently, Leo. Trisha is currently awaiting the release of her Tamil film Karuppu, which stars Suriya.

In recent months, Vijay and Trisha have frequently been linked on social media amid internet speculation, though neither has responded to the claims. 

Their close friendship has long been a topic of online discussion, with some users alleging a relationship between the two. Recently, after details from Vijay’s divorce filings became public, sections of social media once again connected the actor with Trisha. Some political figures have also referred to the alleged relationship while criticising Vijay.

Against this backdrop, reports of Vijay and Trisha arriving together in the same car and attending the AGS family wedding sparked renewed online conversation. While neither actor has addressed the rumours surrounding Vijay’s divorce petition, their appearance together at the event placed their long-standing association back under public scrutiny.

Priyanka Chopra made her debut with the Tamil film Thamizhan (2002) opposite Tamil superstar Vijay, the newly elected Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. While Vijay has been in the headlines for his blockbuster political debut, Priyanka Chopra’s praise for him has resurfaced online. In a recent interview, Priyanka said she tasted her first brush with fame while working with Vijay on the film.

On Sunday, Vijay took oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after his party TVK emerged as the single majority party winning 108 seats this Assembly Election. 

In a 2026 interview on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Priyanka was asked about her debut film.

‘Vijay Is Extremely Popular’

“It was a movie called Thamizhan in the Tamil language in India. I learned phonetically because it was impossible to learn a new language. But I memorized my lines. My first exposure to fame came from my first co-actor. His name is Vijay, who’s extremely popular. There used to be hundreds and hundreds of people standing there to watch him while he was dancing or doing his thing. It was my first movie, and I had no idea what happens behind the scenes—we just saw what we saw in movie theaters. I remember thinking it must feel like being a demi-god,” Priyanka said on the podcast.

‘Priyanka Couldn’t Match Steps With Vijay’

In an earlier interview with Filmygyan, Priyanka’s mother, Madhu Chopra, shared details of the debutant’s perseverance and resilience in making a lasting impression.

Madhu Chopra divulged that Priyanka didn’t initially match steps with Vijay. But Priyanka didn’t give up and practiced until it was perfect. Sharing the shooting experience, Madhu Chopra said, “When she was shooting for the film, she began to like it. Despite not knowing the language, she enjoyed it. The team helped her and treated her with a lot of respect. Vijay starred in the film; he is a perfect gentleman. Raju Sundaram was the choreographer. In dance, Priyanka was okay, but she couldn’t initially match steps with Vijay.”

She added, “She would practice with the choreographer from morning to evening. Then she started enjoying it. This also helped her build her character and realize that she wanted to pursue this as a career.”

Directed by debutant Majith and produced by G. Venkateswaran, Thamizhan became a commercial success.

The story revolves around a lawyer named Surya who curbs corruption cases, fights a criminal boss, and finally makes the basics of Indian law available as a free book to common people.
