Vijay and Trisha to fans are easily one of Tamil cinema’s most loved on-screen pairs. From Ghilli (Okkadu) in 2004 to Thirupaachi (Annavaram), Aathi (Athanokkade), and Kuruvi (Chatrapati Inspired) in 2008, they gave us four hits. Back then, if Vijay and Trisha were in a film together, it was almost a guaranteed blockbuster. Their chemistry felt effortless, playful, intense, and super natural. But after Kuruvi, they suddenly stopped working together for nearly 15 years. That gap started all kinds of talk.
Fans couldn’t help but wonder, was their on-screen bond hiding something real? The rumors only grew because both kept quiet, and Vijay’s films continued with other heroines. The actors always said they were “just friends.” During those years, gossip mills claimed Vijay’s family asked him to keep a distance after Kuruvi, but nothing was ever confirmed. Both Vijay and Trisha brushed off the dating rumors every time. Still, the fact that they didn’t share screen space for 15 years made people more curious.
Then came 2023, and Leo happened. The moment their reunion was announced, social media went crazy. Theatres erupted when they appeared together on screen again. During promotions, Trisha posted a selfie with Vijay from his birthday bash, and fans lost it. That one photo brought back all the old speculation, proving the craze for this pair never really died. YouTube edits of their Ghilli and Leo scenes crossed millions of views within days.
Things got more intense in February 2026 when reports surfaced that Vijay’s wife Sangeetha Sornalingam had filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage. The plea allegedly mentioned infidelity with a female actor, though no name was officially given. Neither Vijay nor Trisha commented, but the timing set off a storm. Around the same time, Trisha’s Instagram story during the Tamil Nadu elections added fuel. She used the Ghilli song Arjunar Villu, a Vijay film to urge people to vote. She later deleted parts linked to political symbols, but fans had already connected the dots. Keeping Rumours aside, In an industry where pairings fade fast, Vijay-Trisha have stayed relevant for two decades. And honestly, that kind of charm doesn’t need logic.
