Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay hoisted the national flag at Fort St George in Chennai on August 15, marking his first Independence Day ceremony in office. Actress Trisha Krishnan attended the event and was seated among guests in a yellow saree. A video showing her and Vijay’s parents returning the Chief Minister’s salute drew attention online. Reports differ on the family members accompanying Trisha. Bollywood Life said she attended with her mother, while ABP Live reported that both mothers and Vijay’s parents were present. Vijay called for a caste-free, corruption-free Tamil Nadu and urged people and officials to reject corruption.
