The SIIMA 2025 awards in Dubai witnessed a charming moment when Trisha Krishnan, honoured for 25 years of exceptional contribution to South Indian cinema, called veteran actor Kamal Haasan “hot and dapper” on stage. The compliment took Kamal by surprise and made him blush, delighting fans who appreciated the warmth between the two stars.

A Heartfelt Moment on Stage

During the event, as photos of her co-stars flashed on the screen, Trisha was asked to talk about Kamal Haasan, who was seated in the front row alongside Sivakarthikeyan. Looking directly at Kamal, she said, “Kamal sir, how come you are always so hot and so dapper? I mean, how do you do it? Everybody here would second that.” Kamal’s eyes widened in surprise, and then with a humble bow and a smile, he acknowledged the compliment, making for an endearing interaction.

Fans Relive the ‘Thug Life’ Magic

Fans of both actors couldn’t help but recall their recent collaboration in Mani Ratnam’s film Thug Life, where Trisha played Kamal’s love interest. Social media was abuzz with light-hearted comments, some calling it the “Thug Life effect,” joking about the on-screen chemistry spilling into real life. Others even joked that this was a deleted scene from the film, referring to their characters Indrani and Sakthivel. The nostalgia added a sweet layer to the moment, delighting audiences who continue to celebrate their dynamic duo.

Upcoming Projects and Continued Stardom

The duo’s recent film Thug Life featured a star-studded cast, including Silambarasan TR (Simbu), Aishwarya Lekshmi, Abhirami, and others.
