Actor Trisha Krishnan attended Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay’s Independence Day flag-hoisting ceremony at Fort St George in Chennai on Friday. India Today reports that she sat in the front row before Vijay’s arrival, wearing a yellow saree and gajra. A video from the event has circulated online.

The Free Press Journal reports that Trisha sat with Vijay’s parents and spoke with other guests. Her appearance has renewed social media speculation about a relationship between the actor and the chief minister, though neither has confirmed one. The report also says Vijay’s wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, withdrew her divorce petition on August 7.
A front-row seat and a conversation with family members are facts, not proof of a romance. Social media is turning a public ceremony into a private-life story, while the divorce speculation adds another layer without a confirmed outcome. Trisha and Vijay have made no public confirmation, so the fair test is simple: rely on a direct statement, not viral clips or repeated rumours.
