Vijay and Trisha have made headlines following their multiple public appearances together, both before and after the Tamil Nadu elections, particularly amid reports surrounding Vijay’s divorce from his wife, Sangeetha.

Vijay and Trisha are regarded as one of Tamil cinema’s most-loved on-screen duos. They have starred together in Ghilli (2004), Thirupaachi (2005), Aathi (2006) and Kuruvi (2008). Following their last film together in 2008, fans continued to speculate about their off-screen equation. The two eventually reunited on screen for the 2023 film Leo.

Despite the persistent rumours surrounding their relationship, Vijay and Trisha have maintained that they are friends. Trisha has also been present at several important milestones in Vijay’s life, including his oath-taking ceremony in May.

Meanwhile, Sangeetha, Vijay’s wife, officially withdrew her high-profile divorce petition at the Chengalpattu Family Court on August 7. Appearing via video conference, she stated that she no longer wished to pursue the case, following which the court formally disposed of the matter as withdrawn.

In her petition, Sangeetha had reportedly accused Vijay of mental cruelty, emotional neglect and adultery, while also alleging that he was involved in an affair with a film actress.
