Trisha posts cryptic 'love is always louder' after Vijay sworn in as Tamil Nadu CM
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actress Trisha Krishnan on Monday shared a photograph in an aqua-blue silk saree with a cryptic caption reading "The love is always louder," a day after her rumoured partner Vijay was sworn in as the 13th Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10. The post has fuelled speculation about their relationship amid Vijay's transition to state leadership.
Trisha's appearance at the swearing-in
The 43-year-old actress attended Vijay's swearing-in ceremony at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai, accompanied by her mother Uma Krishna. She wore a teal and gold saree paired with a cream blouse for the occasion, drawing public attention as she joined the high-profile event.
Vijay's path to the Chief Minister's office
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), the party led by Vijay, emerged as the single largest party in the recent Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, securing 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly. The victory marks a significant shift in the state's political landscape, ending the alternating dominance of the two traditional Dravidian parties, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and All India Trinamool Congress (AIADMK).
Coalition formation and support
Vijay's government is formed with backing from the Indian National Congress, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi, Communist Party of India, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Indian Union Muslim League, and Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazagam. These allies collectively enabled TVK to cross the majority threshold in the Assembly.
Constitutional requirements ahead
The Governor has directed Chief Minister Vijay to seek a vote of confidence in the Assembly on or before May 13, 2026, a standard constitutional procedure for new governments. This will formally validate his administration's majority support.
Trisha's film career
Trisha made her film debut in 1999 with a minor role in the Tamil film Jodi and earned her first lead role in Mounam Pesiyadhe (2002). She rose to prominence through films including Saamy, Ghilli, Aaru, Unakkum Enakkum, Varsham, Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana, Athadu, and Aadavari Mataluku Ardhalu Verule. Her Hindi cinema debut came with Khatta Meetha opposite Akshay Kumar. She was last seen on screen in Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam.
