On the occasion of Tamil cinema’s beloved “Thalapathy” Vijay’s 51st birthday on June 22, 2025, social media was abuzz with a myriad of wishes from fans and industry colleagues. However, one particular post stood out, stirring significant buzz and rekindling long-standing speculations: a heartfelt birthday message from his frequent co-star, Trisha Krishnan.
Trisha took to her social media to share a candid and intimate photograph featuring Vijay affectionately playing with her pet dog, Izzy, while she looks on with a warm smile. Her simple yet poignant caption, “Happy Birthday bestest ,” accompanied by a hug and evil eye emoji, instantly went viral, setting off a fresh wave of discussions among fans about their off-screen dynamic.
The picture’s warmth and the evident comfort between the two actors resonated deeply with their loyal fan bases, who have long admired their on-screen chemistry. Vijay and Trisha have graced the silver screen together in several memorable films, including blockbusters like Ghilli (2004), Thirupaachi (2005), Aathi (2006), and Kuruvi (2008). Their reunion in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Leo (2023) after a hiatus of over a decade was met with immense excitement, further cementing their status as one of Tamil cinema’s most iconic pairings. Trisha also made a cameo appearance in Vijay’s recent film, The Greatest of All Time (2024).
The social media reactions to Trisha’s birthday wish were swift and varied. While many fans expressed delight at seeing the duo together, with comments ranging from “two cuties” to “lovely couple,” others couldn’t help but delve into renewed speculation about the nature of their relationship. The public’s fascination with their bond has been a consistent theme over the years, fueled by their undeniable on-screen magic and occasional glimpses of their friendly camaraderie off-screen.
Adding another layer to the public discourse was the noticeable absence of Vijay’s wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, from several recent public events, a detail that has previously sparked whispers of marital discord. While Sangeetha later made an appearance at a filmmaker’s wedding reception on Vijay’s behalf, Trisha’s latest post, coupled with the ongoing rumors, has fueled a fresh round of online theories and discussions about the actors’ personal lives. Even Trisha’s mother, Uma Krishnan, re-sharing the post with heart emojis, further fanned the flames of speculation on social media platforms like Reddit.
Despite the intense public scrutiny and continuous speculation, both Thalapathy Vijay, known for his fiercely private nature, and Trisha Krishnan have consistently maintained a dignified silence on the rumors surrounding their relationship. Their focus remains primarily on their individual careers and personal lives, leaving fans to interpret their interactions as they see fit.
As Vijay steps into his 51st year, with the highly anticipated first look of his final film Jana Nayagan also unveiled on his birthday, the buzz surrounding his personal and professional life continues to be a captivating topic for cinema enthusiasts. Trisha’s affectionate birthday wish has undoubtedly added another memorable chapter to the enduring narrative of one of Kollywood’s most celebrated on-screen pairs, keeping the conversations alive and thriving.
