Actor-turned-politician Vijay Thalapathy, the chief of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), is set to take the oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu today after his party's sweeping victory in the 2026 state elections. Ahead of his speech at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai, actress Trisha Krishnan, who frequently makes headlines for her association with her 'Leo' co-star Vijay, recently reacted as she arrived for the ceremony.

In a video circulating on social media, the actress was asked about her opinion on what she called a "big day for Tamil Nadu."

For the event, she was seen in a stunning traditional look, wearing a blue saree and a gajra in her hair.

Trisha Krishnan's Old Interview Resurfaces
An older video of Trisha Krishnan has gone viral on the internet, where she was seen in conversation with Sun TV, jokingly expressing her desire to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. "I want to become the CM of Tamil Nadu. Honestly! Wait and watch, you will see in 10 years," she had said. When asked what she would do if she entered politics, the actress added, "First, you all vote and elect me, then I'll tell you."
Trisha Krishnan's Work Front
On the work front, she was last seen in the Kamal Haasan-starrer 'Thug Life,' directed by renowned filmmaker Mani Ratnam. Despite its hype, the film received mixed reviews and had a low box office response. She is now gearing up for the release of the upcoming Suriya-starrer action-fantasy drama 'Karuppu.' The film is set to hit the big screens on May 14, 2026, worldwide.
