Prominent Figures Wish Vijay
Several prominent national and regional figures had already extended birthday greetings to the Chief Minister on Monday, 22 June. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a post on X, said: 'Birthday greetings to the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru C. Joseph Vijay Ji. I pray for his long and healthy life.'
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi wrote on X: 'Wishing the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Thiru Joseph Vijay, a very happy birthday. I wish you good health and success in all your efforts. I stand with you in defending the rights, dignity, and aspirations of the Tamil people, and in working together for the state's progress.'
Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan, parliamentarian and actor Kamal Haasan, and actor Mohanlal also extended their wishes. In a post on X, Kamal Haasan wrote in Tamil: 'My heartfelt birthday wishes to Honorable Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam's Chief and my beloved younger brother Vijay, who has won the love of crores of hearts.'
Actor and producer Raghava Lawrence, who recently expressed his desire to enter politics, also greeted the Chief Minister on X, writing: 'Every year, I wish my Nanba (friend) a happy birthday. But this year it's extra special and I'm happy to say, Happy Birthday to Honorable Chief Minister of Tamilnadu! @TVKVijayHQ'
Who Is C. Joseph Vijay
C. Joseph Vijay, born on 22 June 1974 in Chennai, celebrated his 52nd birthday on Monday. A celebrated star of Tamil cinema for decades, he formally entered politics in 2024 by founding the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). The party made its electoral debut in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, emerging as the single-largest party in the state with 108 seats out of 234.
With Trisha's Instagram post now public, the speculation around their social media relationship appears to have been put to rest — at least for now.
Point of View
Who unliked what — can spiral into political and entertainment news cycles in Tamil Nadu, where the line between cinema and governance has all but dissolved under CM Vijay. A single Instagram caption with a timestamp did more damage control than any official statement could. What is worth watching is not the birthday noise, but whether the TVK government can sustain the cross-party goodwill — from Modi to Rahul Gandhi — that these ceremonial greetings signal, as Tamil Nadu's fiscal and federal tensions with the Centre remain unresolved.
