Thalapathy Vijay has officially entered a new phase of his public life after taking oath as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in a grand swearing-in ceremony held in Chennai. The historic event attracted massive attention across the country, with political leaders, film celebrities, supporters, and senior members of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) attending the ceremony in large numbers.
The actor-turned-politician’s transition from cinema superstar to state leader has become one of the biggest political stories of 2026. Fans celebrated the moment across Tamil Nadu, with giant LED screens, rallies, and public gatherings organized in several cities to witness the oath-taking ceremony live.
However, apart from the political significance of the event, social media users were quick to notice another detail — the absence of Vijay’s wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, and their children during the ceremony.
Family’s Absence Becomes a Major Talking Point
While several celebrities, relatives, and political leaders attended the swearing-in ceremony, Vijay’s immediate family members were reportedly not seen at the venue.
Many users on social media questioned why his wife and children did not appear during such an important milestone in his life. For many public figures, oath-taking ceremonies are considered emotional family moments, which is why their absence immediately became a topic of online discussion.
At the same time, Vijay’s parents, filmmaker S. A. Chandrasekhar and Shoba Chandrasekhar, were present at the ceremony and were visibly emotional during the event.
Trisha Krishnan’s Presence Fuels Fresh Speculation
Another major reason the ceremony dominated social media discussions was the presence of actress Trisha Krishnan at the swearing-in event.
The actress’s appearance quickly reignited long-running rumors regarding her alleged closeness with Vijay. Speculation surrounding the two celebrities has been circulating online for several months, especially after reports claimed that Trisha had frequently visited Vijay following his political victory.
Social media users began discussing the issue even more intensely after photos and videos from the ceremony started trending online.
Adding to the buzz, Trisha also reportedly shared cryptic social media posts after the event, which further fueled online speculation.
Vijay and Trisha Have Never Confirmed Relationship Rumors
Despite ongoing rumors, neither Vijay nor Trisha has officially confirmed any romantic relationship.
Both celebrities have repeatedly maintained that they share a strong friendship and professional bond. Over the years, the two actors have worked together in several successful Tamil films and remain among the most popular on-screen pairs in South Indian cinema.
However, public curiosity surrounding their relationship continues to remain high, especially after major public appearances like the swearing-in ceremony.
Vijay’s Political Journey Draws National Attention
Vijay’s oath-taking ceremony marked a significant political moment in Tamil Nadu. The Tamil superstar’s party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, emerged as a major political force during the recent assembly elections, eventually allowing him to form the government in the state.
Political observers believe Vijay’s rise reflects Tamil Nadu’s long history of film personalities entering politics successfully. His popularity among youth and first-time voters played a key role in his political success.
The ceremony itself saw attendance from several national leaders, celebrities, and supporters, highlighting the scale of public interest surrounding Vijay’s political debut as Chief Minister.
Social Media Continues Discussing the Event
Even after the oath-taking ceremony concluded, discussions around Vijay’s family absence and Trisha’s presence continued trending online.
While supporters focused on celebrating Vijay’s political achievement, others continued debating the personal aspects surrounding the event. So far, neither Vijay nor his family members have publicly commented on the online speculation.
For now, the actor-turned-politician remains firmly in the spotlight as he begins his journey as Tamil Nadu’s new Chief Minister.
