Trisha Krishnan's Silence on Vijay's Birthday
Thalapathy Vijay, born Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar on June 22, 1974, celebrated his 52nd birthday this week, an occasion typically marked by a deluge of wishes from fans, film fraternity, and political leaders alike. However, the silence from his long-time co-star Trisha Krishnan did not go unnoticed. For several years, Trisha had consistently shared special birthday posts for Vijay, often featuring old photos and warm wishes that quickly went viral. Her decision to refrain from any public acknowledgement this year has become a major talking point on social media, with many fans questioning the sudden shift.
The Instagram 'Unfollow' and Growing Speculation
Adding fuel to the fire, reports have surfaced claiming that Trisha Krishnan has unfollowed Vijay on Instagram. While some social media users quickly pointed out the apparent change in her following list, others noted the difficulty in definitively confirming whether she was following him in the first place, leaving the 'unfollow' status open to debate.

Despite the intense online discussion, neither Thalapathy Vijay nor Trisha Krishnan has issued an official statement addressing the unfollow rumours or the reasons behind Trisha's apparent birthday snub. Their continued silence has only amplified the curiosity surrounding their personal equation.
A Look Back at the Rumours and Public Appearances
Rumours surrounding a romantic relationship between Vijay and Trisha have been a constant fixture in the industry for months, gaining significant traction earlier this year. In February 2026, reports emerged suggesting that Vijay's wife of nearly three decades, Sangeetha Sornalingam, had filed for divorce, allegedly citing infidelity with an unnamed actress. This development immediately led to Trisha's name being linked to the controversy.
Further intensifying the buzz, the duo was seen together at a wedding reception in Chennai in March 2026, where they notably sported matching gold-hued outfits. Trisha was also reportedly seen at Vijay's oath-taking ceremony, where he assumed office as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on May 10, 2026, and also accompanied him during a visit to offer condolences to actor Ajith Kumar's family on May 31, 2026. Both actors have consistently chosen to remain tight-lipped about the ongoing speculation, with Trisha previously sharing cryptic social media posts that appeared to be subtle digs at trolls regarding the rumoured relationship.
Career Trajectories: Politics for Vijay, Blockbusters for Trisha
Professionally, both stars have been on distinct yet successful paths. Thalapathy Vijay officially transitioned into politics, launching his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), in February 2024, and was sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in May 2026. His final film as a lead actor, Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions, starring Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, and Mamitha Baiju, was initially slated for a January 9, 2026 release but has since been indefinitely delayed due to censor board issues and an online leak. His last released film was Venkat Prabhu's 2024 sci-fi action movie, The Greatest Of All Time.

Meanwhile, Trisha Krishnan's acting career continues to flourish. She recently delivered a box office hit with Karuppu (2026), where she starred opposite Suriya, directed by RJ Balaji. The film also featured an ensemble cast including RJ Balaji, Indrans, Anagha Maya Ravi, Natty Subramaniam, Sshivada, Swasika, and Supreeth Reddy.
