In another clip from the ceremony, Vijay was seen saluting the audience during the Independence Day event. In return, Trisha was seen doing the same gesture as she saluted him back. However, she quickly took her hand down and smiled. This cute moment of the duo has taken the internet by storm. While many fans reacted with love, another section called out their gesture.&nbsp;&nbsp;For the I-Day event, Trisha looked elegant in a mustard saree with an embroidered green blouse. She styled her hair in a bun decorated with a gajra, and kept her accessories minimal with bracelets and earrings.&nbsp;Time and again, Trisha and Vijay have been linked. However, as mentioned above, they have never talked about their relationship status. They have worked in numerous films and their on-screen chemistry has always impressed their fans.&nbsp;

Months after taking the oath as CM of Tamil Nadu, Vijay hoisted the flag at the Independence Day event. On this special occasion, actress Trisha was present with her mother. Videos have gone viral across the social media.

Trisha salutes CM Vijay at Independence day celebrations, video goes watch

DMK leader and Leader of Opposition in Tamil Nadu Udhayanidhi Stalin, in his first remarks after coming out of jail, denied allegations that he made “double-meaning” remarks against actor Trisha Krishnan during a rally in Thanjavur. His speech was only about the release of Cauvery water for the state's farmers, he said, and accused the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) government of twisting his words.

Stalin warned that arrogance leads to destruction and accused the Vijay government of using police action to divert attention from its “failure” to protect the state’s interests on the Cauvery water issue. Defending his son, he said that the speech was edited. “Yesterday's protest received a strong response from farmers. Since the issue had gained momentum and the Opposition was set to raise it in the Assembly, the government circulated a cut-and-paste version of my speech and falsely claimed I had made remarks that I never uttered,” he said.

<h2>Udhayanidhi Stalin's arrest and his remark</h2>Udhayanidhi Stalin was arrested by Chennai Police on Tuesday (Jul 4) from his residence, following an FIR against him by TVK women wing over his alleged defamatory remarks against actress Trisha and Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay. Addressing a farmers’ protest over the Cauvery water dispute in Thanjavur, son of former Tamil Nadu CM Stalin targeted Vijay alleging that Tamil Nadu has not received a single drop of Cauvery water but the CM remains unconcerned. As he was speaking, someone in the crowd chanted the name of actress Trisha. It was then that Udhayanidhi paused his speech, and with a smirk on his face, responded with a suggestive innuendo, inviting the ire of TVK.
