The Trisha-Vijay birthday post saga has a life of its own: A timeline
Trisha's birthday posts for Vijay have grown from film updates into a yearly ritual. Over the years, the pictures have sparked speculation around their relationship.
Actor Trisha's birthday post for friend and actor-turned-Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay once again sent the internet into a frenzy on Tuesday evening. On the surface, there was nothing particularly extraordinary about it - a photograph, a caption and a birthday wish. However, as has become tradition, it was the gesture itself that captured fans' imagination.
Before Social media turned celebrity birthday wishes into an annual ritual, Vijay and Trisha had already cemented their place as one of Tamil cinema's most beloved on-screen pairings. Their films may have given fans memorable moments, but in recent years, it is Trisha's birthday posts for Vijay that have taken on a life of their own.
Over the past four years, every June has brought with it a fresh wave of speculation, excitement and viral conversations. Whether it was a candid behind-the-scenes photograph, an unseen memory or a heartfelt caption, each post has been dissected, celebrated and shared endlessly by fans.
Here’s a look at how it all began:
Though it wasn't posted on Vijay's birthday, June 22, the picture marked the beginning of Trisha's now much-discussed tradition of sharing photos with him on Instagram.
The 2023 photo was clicked at the launch of director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Leo, which marked their reunion on screen after nearly 15 years. Sharing the picture, Trisha wrote, “For those of you who asked, waited and wished... This one’s for you (sic).”
The image showed Vijay smiling for the camera, while Trisha's gaze remained fixed on him. Later that year, Trisha shared another picture from the Leo shooting location in Kashmir on Vijay’s birthday, captioning it, “HBD you! (sic)” with a series of emojis.
Soon after Leo, rumours about Vijay and Trisha travelling together to Norway began circulating online after a CCTV video of the two entering a shop surfaced on social media. The video led to renewed discussions among fans about their equation.
In 2024, Trisha’s birthday post for Vijay once again grabbed attention. Sharing a picture from one of their overseas trips, she wrote, “the calm to a storm, the storm to a calm (sic),” while wishing him “many more milestones ahead (sic).”
By then, the birthday post had become something fans looked forward to every year. In 2025, Trisha shared another candid picture of Vijay with her pet dog Izzy. “Happy birthday Bestest (sic),” she wrote alongside the post.
This year, as fans waited for Trisha’s wish for Vijay, she shared it on June 23 instead of his birthday on June 22. However, her caption suggested that she had celebrated his birthday at midnight. Calling him “a person who makes it all worth it”, she shared a heartfelt birthday message for the actor.
Earlier this year, Vijay and Trisha also made their first public appearance together at producer Kalpathi S Aghoram’s family wedding. The appearance came days after reports about Vijay’s wife Sangeetha Sornalingam’s divorce petition surfaced online.
Vijay and Trisha have worked together in Ghilli (2004), Thirupaachi (2005), Aathi (2006), Kuruvi (2008) and Leo (2024). Trisha also made a special appearance in Vijay’s The Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in 2024.
