The South Indian actress Trisha Krishnan has been the latest to come under recent scrutiny after sharing her birthday cake before May 4. Fans and a media frenzy have since spread widely over the cosy little event; perhaps the occasion had been started with some friends as early as Saturday.
Trisha appeared to have attended a pre-birthday party days before so that it would be low-key but happy. Yet what’s struck everyone, however, is the timing. Well, her birthday really happens to be around a pivotal political moment in Tamil Nadu, and with election-related results being announced.
Fans have, meanwhile, connected the dots with actor-turned-politician Vijay, who’s a fixture in the state’s political landscape through his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK). Since elections had only just happened and are anticipated to produce results around that time frame, many now suspect that Trisha might have wanted to celebrate early in anticipation of being overshadowed by the high voltage of the political world.
And that speculation doesn’t stop there. But Trisha has already been up in the air, the chatter continuing, linking her to Vijay. The latest, particularly public appearances and antics on social media, including her voting day post, which fans took as a subtle endorsement of Vijay, have only stoked the fire.
A hot new string of gossip about Vijay’s domestic side and alleged romance with Trisha, which has been well-spotted on social media and in the entertainment industry, is also fueling the fire. While nothing official has been said about the connection between her early birthday party and Vijay’s political career, the dates of her date have raised some eyebrows.
That’s a tactic fans say would have led to keeping her birthday free and open for private activities and away from the frenzy over election outcomes. It’s also worth noting that celebs often mark birthdays ahead of schedule, so either don’t have a crazy agenda, or family time or a photoshoot in front of the camera. For Trisha, it was the fact that we have overlapping, politically charged times that made for an extra puzzle piece.
