thebalanced.newsActor-Politician Vijay Sworn In as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister; Trisha Krishnan Attends Ceremony
On May 10, 2026, actor-politician C. Joseph Vijay was sworn in as Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister at Chennai's Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, marking the first non-DMK, non-AIADMK government in nearly six decades. The ceremony drew political leaders, film personalities, and supporters amid tight security. Actress Trisha Krishnan, a longtime friend and frequent co-star of Vijay, attended the event wearing a traditional blue or seafoam-green silk saree with jasmine adornments. Vijay opted for a modern black blazer and pants instead of traditional attire. The Governor invited Vijay to form the government and asked him to prove majority by May 13.
