Actor Trisha Krishnan attended the oath-taking ceremony of C. Joseph Vijay as he was sworn in as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
The event marks a significant transition for Vijay, known in the film industry as Thalapathy, as he moves from a career in cinema to the state's highest executive office.
The ceremony took place May 10, 2026 [1] at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai [2]. Krishnan joined other guests to support Vijay's transition into political leadership. She said she was looking forward to the historic moment [3].
Reports on the actress's attire varied among observers. Some sources described her outfit as a blue silk saree [2], while others identified it as an ice-blue Kanjeevaram, or a seafoam-green saree [4].
Vijay, who leads the TVK party, assumed office amid significant public attention. The gathering at the stadium served as the formal induction of the new administration. While the event drew high-profile attendees from the entertainment industry, some reports indicated that Vijay's estranged wife, Sangeetha, did not attend the proceedings [5].
Krishnan's presence underscores the intersection of the Tamil film industry and the state's political landscape. The transition of a major star to a governance role often draws substantial public interest in the region, which has a long history of actor-politicians.
