C. Joseph Vijay, popularly known as "Thalapathy," took oath as Tamil Nadu Chief Minister at a grand ceremony held at Chennai's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the presence of senior political leaders, party workers, supporters and family members, including his parents, S. A. Chandrasekhar and Shoba Chandrasekhar.

However, the major talking point on social media remained the absence of Vijay's wife Sangeetha Sornalingam and their children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha, from the swearing-in ceremony. While a few videos circulating online claimed that Sangeetha attended the event, reports suggest that neither she nor the children were present.

Meanwhile, Trisha Krishnan's appearance at the ceremony drew significant attention amid long-standing speculation surrounding her relationship with Vijay. Several clips and photographs from the event went viral, including a video showing Trisha getting emotional during Vijay's speech, further fuelling discussions across social media platforms.

However, social media discussions largely focused on the absence of Vijay's wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, and their children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha. 

Fans call out Vijay's bond with Trisha Krishnan, as the two actors have long been linked through dating rumours due to their frequent public appearances.

One user wrote, "Actress Trisha is attending Vijay's swearing-in ceremony. Meanwhile, many feel sad seeing the absence of his wife and children at such an important event. Remembering Sangeetha's divorce petition, which stated, 'The respondent continued to travel abroad and attend public events, causing repeated humiliation to the petitioner and the children.'"

Another commented, "New CM, New Queen? Thalapathy Vijay takes oath as CM, but the real story is in the front row! No wife, no kids, but Trisha is there with his mother? Divorce rumours or unofficial confirmation? Sangeetha's absence speaks louder than words!"

"The family that should have been at the center of attention today is absent. As Joseph Vijay takes the oath, his estranged wife Sangeetha, son Jason Sanjay, and daughter Divya Sasha are not attending the ceremony," commented another. "So sad for Vijay's wife and kids who are not part of the ceremony," wrote another user.

Some users also referred to reports regarding Sangeetha's divorce petition, filed earlier this year before the Chengalpattu Family Welfare Court after 27 years of marriage. According to reports, the petition cited mental distress and allegations of infidelity. The next hearing in the matter is scheduled for June 15.

In the petition, Sangeetha reportedly stated that the couple had registered their marriage in the United Kingdom in 1998 before holding a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony in Chennai in 1999. She also alleged that differences emerged in recent years following reports of Vijay's alleged closeness with another actress.

Despite the online discussion surrounding his personal life, Vijay's swearing-in ceremony marked a major political milestone, with Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam formally assuming power in the state following its electoral victory.
