Trisha Krishnan was seen last Monday arriving at the house of actor-politician Vijay in Chennai while his party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) was making significant strides in 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Election developments.
The clips and images through which Trisha burst into Vijay’s house quickly went viral online, igniting a raving frenzy among both stars’ supporters. It came at what were seen as a key political turning point, with TVK said to have set game-changing markers on some early counting trends early in the campaign and become one of Tamil Nadu’s most powerful forces.
Fans poured out of Vijay’s Chennai home as festivities erupted following reports that TVK was ahead in some key electoral districts in the state. Fans cheering party flags, chanting chants during the party and popping crackers to celebrate Vijay and social media responses to the arrival of Trisha all came soon after.
Yet fans interpreted the gesture as reinforcement and party a shout-out, a show of support and merriment during one of the peaks in Vijay’s career, when both his political popularity skyrocketed the moment the two Indian politicians crossed paths, she said. The visit drew even greater attention when it also coincided with Trisha’s birthday.
So earlier this day Trisha had gone to Tirupati Temple for blessings. Yet news reports and fan chat suggested the actress was praying for Vijay and for TVK, as they were counting votes. Vijay and Trisha are considered to be the most celebrated on-screen actors pair in Tamil cinema.
The duo, in collaboration, have appeared in many of the most successful films to date, like Ghilli, Thirupaachi, Aathi and Leo. They have been one in film audiences for almost 20 years. Rumors for years circulate about the close friendship between the two stars, and perhaps dating, but the two have largely shut up.
It’s a public affair and there are a couple of rumors, but overall these scenes are very much one, and fans watch how they engage with each other. At the same time, Vijay cast TVK's historic Tamil Nadu Assembly Election win as the conclusion of film superstardom of his career and a political presence in the state.
Tamil Nadu voted party popularity was one of the biggest surprises, political analysts said, as the parties DMK and AIADMK have controlled Tamil Nadu for decades. Vijay's appeal to younger voters and first-time voters supporters say accounts for the high verdict for TVK.
The campaign that promised political transformation, anti corruption and governance reform has since mesmerized the masses as voters who poured out during the elections. When counting was over, celebrations outside Vijay’s house mounted with fans viewing it as both a political victory and a celebrity moment.
