During the address at the Vijay swearing-in ceremony, Vijay thanked voters and outlined his governance approach. Vijay said, “Come, let all of us together give Tamil Nadu a fresh new government. This is a new beginning, the start of a new era of secular, social justice,” presenting the administration as the start of a different political phase.

Vijay also stressed modest expectations from leadership. Vijay stated, “I am not some divine messenger or prophet. I am just an ordinary human being living a normal life. I will never deceive you with false promises. I will only promise what is possible.” The speech drew applause from the crowd at the stadium.

The emotional images from the Vijay swearing-in ceremony arrived after years of on-screen collaboration between Trisha Krishnan and Vijay. The duo co-starred in successful Tamil films such as Ghilli, Thirupaachi, Aathi and Kuruvi, then reunited in Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, delighting long-time fans of their pairing.

Trisha Krishnan also featured in the special song Matta in The GOAT, reminding audiences of the Ghilli era chemistry. At the same time, both Vijay and Trisha have faced intense speculation about their personal lives.

The viral video from the Vijay swearing-in ceremony has kept attention fixed on the intersection of Tamil cinema and state politics, with Trisha Krishnan’s visible emotion adding a personal layer to Vijay’s political debut, even as both continue to stay silent on persistent questions about their lives beyond films and public office.
