Actress Trisha Krishnan attended the Independence Day celebrations at Fort St George in Chennai on Saturday morning, where Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor Vijay hoisted the national flag during the official ceremony. Trisha’s presence at the event quickly attracted attention, especially as rumours about her relationship with Vijay continue to circulate.
Several photos and videos from the event have appeared on social media, showing Trisha seated in the front row with other guests. She was also seen sitting alongside Vijay’s father, S A Chandrasekhar. The actress appeared cheerful throughout the ceremony and was seen smiling and speaking with people around her.
For the occasion, Trisha chose a simple and traditional look. She wore a golden saree and kept her jewellery and other accessories minimal. She completed the look with a gajra in her hair, giving her appearance a classic traditional touch.
Trisha’s attendance at the ceremony comes shortly after she was also seen at Vijay’s oath taking ceremony. Her presence at both important public events has once again drawn attention from fans and social media users, although neither actor has confirmed any romantic relationship.
Trisha and Vijay have been linked by fans and sections of the media for several years. The two actors have shared the screen in popular films including Ghilli (2004), Thirupaachi (2005), Aathi (2006), and Kuruvi (2008). Their strong chemistry in these movies made them one of the most popular on screen pairs in Tamil cinema.
Rumours about their relationship became more noticeable around 2008, after Kuruvi. Their decision to stop working together after the film added to the speculation. There were also reports claiming that Vijay’s family had asked him to maintain distance from Trisha.

However, both Vijay and Trisha have denied reports of a romantic relationship in the past. The actors have maintained that they are “just friends.” Despite these clarifications, their long professional association and occasional public appearances together continue to attract attention.
Trisha’s latest appearance at the Independence Day celebrations has therefore sparked fresh discussion online, but there is no confirmation from either actor about the relationship rumours.
