When Trisha Krishnan called off engagement as fiance wanted her to quit acting: ‘I’ll only take a break when I get pregnant’

It was a sweet coincidence that Trisha Krishnan’s birthday and Thalapathy Vijay’s recent political victory grabbed attention around the same time, amid ongoing rumours about their relationship.

While neither has reacted to the dating buzz, actors Charmme Kaur, Lakshmi Manchu and Radikaa Sarathkumar wished Trisha on her birthday, also highlighting the reported landslide victory of Vijay’s party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) in the Tamil Nadu Elections 2026.

Why Trisha broke her engagement

Amid the buzz, Trisha’s old statements about her broken engagement have resurfaced.

In 2015, she had announced her engagement to Chennai-based businessman Varun Manian. However, the engagement was called off within months after she was reportedly asked to quit acting.

Addressing the decision, Trisha had told Onmanorama, “The person I was supposed to marry asked me to stop acting. Instead of films, I chose to put a full stop to my engagement. I will only take a break when I get pregnant. If I am not offered lead roles, I will do characters that suit my image but I won’t move away from the film industry. My wish is to act until my last breath.”

Vijay–Trisha films
