Trisha Krishnan took to Instagram on Tuesday to alert her followers that her X (formerly Twitter) account had been hacked. In a brief yet urgent update on her Instagram Stories, the actress warned her fans that any posts appearing on her X profile until further notice were not made by her. She wrote, “My Twitter is hacked guys. Whatever posted is not from me until rectified. Thanks (sic).” This announcement came after a now-deleted post on her X account, which appeared to promote cryptocurrency, caused confusion among her followers.
The deleted post featured an image of Trisha alongside a caption that read, “I am excited to do something like this for the first time. I created my own cryptocurrency and now it’s live! I love you all (sic).” The unusual nature of the post immediately raised suspicions, leading fans to speculate that her account had been compromised. Screenshots of the post quickly circulated on social media, with many expressing concern over how her verified account had been used to spread misleading content. Several users pointed out that celebrity accounts are frequently targeted for cryptocurrency scams, where hackers attempt to deceive followers into investing in fraudulent schemes.
This is not the first time Trisha has fallen victim to social media hacking. In 2017, her account was allegedly hacked following the controversy surrounding her rumored support for PETA amid the Jallikattu protests. During that time, her X account had shared posts critical of the traditional Tamil bull-taming sport, sparking outrage among Jallikattu supporters. Following massive backlash, Trisha’s mother later clarified that the actress had not posted any such messages and that her account had been hacked. The situation escalated to the point where Trisha temporarily deactivated her account.
Cybersecurity concerns surrounding celebrity social media accounts have been on the rise, with several high-profile actors, musicians, and athletes reporting hacking incidents in recent years. Experts believe that public figures with millions of followers are prime targets for cybercriminals looking to exploit their online presence. Fans are often quick to trust posts from verified accounts, making it easier for scammers to deceive them. Given the increase in such incidents, cybersecurity analysts emphasize the importance of two-factor authentication (2FA) and stronger password management for social media users, particularly celebrities and influencers.
On the professional front, Trisha was most recently seen in Vidaamuyarchi, an action thriller that also starred Ajith Kumar and Arjun Sarja. The film, produced by Lyca Productions, underwent multiple delays before finally hitting the screens. Inspired by the 1997 American film Breakdown, Vidaamuyarchi was one of the most anticipated Tamil releases of 2025. Fans had high expectations from the film, especially due to the pairing of Ajith and Trisha, who previously shared the screen in hit films like Ji, Kireedam, and Mankatha.
Apart from Vidaamuyarchi, Trisha has several other major projects lined up, making 2025 a busy year for her. She is set to reunite with Thalapathy Vijay in Thalapathy 68, a film that has generated immense buzz among fans. Their on-screen chemistry has been a fan-favorite since films like Ghilli, Aathi, and Varisu, making this upcoming project one of the most talked-about films in Kollywood. In addition, she is also working on Mani Ratnam’s ambitious Ponniyin Selvan 3, where she will reprise her role as Kundavai. The Ponniyin Selvan franchise has been a milestone in Trisha’s career, earning her widespread acclaim for her portrayal of the Chola princess.
Beyond Tamil cinema, Trisha is reportedly in talks for a couple of Bollywood and pan-Indian projects, further expanding her reach in the film industry. Given her experience and consistent performances over the years, she remains one of the most sought-after actresses in Indian cinema. With her upcoming projects and strong social media presence, Trisha continues to captivate audiences, proving that she is here to stay.
