While the comments were made over two decades ago in a playful context, the clip began trending again on May 4, coinciding with both Trisha’s 43rd birthday and the unfolding results of the state elections.
The #TVKWave and Connection to Vijay
The timing of the video’s resurgence is closely linked to the political debut of her frequent co-star, Thalapathy Vijay. As early trends showed Vijay’s TVK making significant gains, the hashtag #TVKWave dominated social media platforms.
The connection between the two stars was further highlighted when Trisha was reportedly spotted visiting Vijay at his residence in Chennai to congratulate him on his party’s breakthrough performance. This visit, combined with their long-standing professional history in films like Ghilli and Leo, has fueled fan theories regarding a potential political collaboration, despite no official confirmation from either side.

Before visiting Chennai for the election festivities, she was seen seeking blessings at the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirupati.
On the professional front, Trisha remains highly active in the film industry.
