For the celebrations, Trisha chose a simple yet graceful traditional outfit. She wore a gold-toned saree and kept her styling understated, with minimal jewellery complementing the look. A floral gajra in her hair added a classic touch.
At the flag-hoisting ceremony, Vijay said, "To all my Tamil relatives across the world and my Gen Z friends, my Vanakkam to all."
The Chief Minister said eliminating corruption was equivalent to securing true freedom and added that his government was working towards that goal.
"Government revenue being diverted to private individuals has been prevented, and continuous action is being taken to eliminate corruption across all departments," Vijay said.
