Her role as a Brahmin college student received positive reviews, and her next film Enakku 20 Unakku 18 (2003), although not a commercial hit, furthered her career due to its popular soundtrack.

• Rise to Stardom (2004–2008):
  Trisha's debut in Telugu cinema came in 2004 with the film Varsham, which brought her widespread recognition. Her performance was well-received, and she became a sought-after actress in both Tamil and Telugu cinema. That same year, she starred opposite Vijay in the Tamil film Ghilli, which solidified her status as a leading actress. In 2005, she co-starred with Mahesh Babu in Athadu, another successful film. Despite setbacks with some films in 2008, her performance in the Telugu movie Krishna was a major success.
  

• Continued Success (2009–2017):
  In 2009, Trisha played a significant role in the Tamil romantic drama Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, which was a major box-office success. In 2015, she appeared in several successful films, including Yennai Arindhaal with Ajith Kumar and Thoongavanam with Kamal Haasan.

Controversies:

• #SuchiLeaks (2017):
  The Suchi Leaks scandal involved the release of private photos and videos of several celebrities, including Trisha. These leaks led to rumors about her relationships with actors like Rana Daggubati, Dhanush, and Anirudh.

• PETA Controversy (2010):
  As a brand ambassador for PETA in South India, Trisha faced backlash during the pro-Jallikattu protests, as many people believed her association with PETA opposed Tamil cultural practices.

In this role, she promotes child rights and advocates against issues such as child marriage, child labor, and abuse, particularly focusing on the needs of young girls in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
