Actress Trisha Krishnan, who continues to remain one of the most sought-after stars in South Indian cinema even after two decades, has hinted at her political aspirations. A video of Trisha speaking about her interest in politics has gone viral on social media, sparking discussions about her possible political entry.
In the video, Trisha expressed her desire to address social issues and serve the public. “I want to work for the people and fight for social causes. This can be effectively achieved only through politics,” she stated. She further added, “I have a strong interest in entering politics, and one day, I want to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.”
Political Speculations Ahead of Tamil Nadu Elections
The video has fueled speculation that Trisha may take a political plunge ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, scheduled for April or May 2026. Given her popularity and long-standing career in the film industry, her entry into politics could potentially shake up the political landscape.

Interestingly, Tamil Nadu’s film industry has historically been closely linked with the state’s politics. Former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa successfully transitioned from a star actress to a powerful political leader. However, several actresses who followed her path did not achieve similar success.
Trisha’s potential political move has also drawn comparisons with Kollywood superstar Vijay, who recently founded his own political party. Vijay and Trisha share a close friendship, leading to speculation on whether she will join his party or launch her own political outfit.

Adding to the intrigue is the fact that Trisha, despite her prolific career, has never appeared in an item number for any actor other than Vijay. The possibility of her becoming a political rival to Vijay is generating significant interest.
Currently, the ruling DMK holds a strong position in Tamil Nadu. With the next elections just over a year away, Trisha’s recent statements have created a buzz about her political future and whether she will enter the fray as a new face in Tamil Nadu politics.
