Trisha Dragged Into Tamil Nadu Political War: DMK, BJP & AIADMK Trade Barbs

Actor Trisha has been pulled into a fresh political controversy in Tamil Nadu after a ceremonial salute to Chief Minister Vijay at the state’s Independence Day celebrations triggered a political slugfest. DMK mouthpiece Murasoli criticised Vijay over Trisha’s front-row seating and the exchange of salutes, while BJP and AIADMK leaders also made personal remarks involving the actor. Former BJP leader K Annamalai, however, defended both Vijay and Trisha, arguing that political criticism should not become personal or derogatory, especially towards women. From a ceremonial moment to political attacks, the episode has sparked a larger debate: is Trisha being targeted as a way to attack Vijay, and has Tamil Nadu politics crossed the line from criticism into personal attacks on women?
