South Indian film superstar Thalapathy Vijay is once again in the headlines, this time for his personal life. His wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, has filed for divorce in Chengalpattu Family Court after nearly 27 years of marriage. The move has sparked widespread discussion among fans and media alike.
Key Points from the Divorce Petition
Sangeeta’s petition contains serious allegations. She claims that Vijay allegedly had an extramarital relationship with an actress. When she discovered this in April 2021, Vijay reportedly assured her that the relationship would end, but it allegedly continued. This, according to Sangeeta, caused her prolonged mental distress and emotional suffering.
The petition also states that Vijay’s behavior changed whenever she questioned him, and she faced multiple restrictions. Based on mental cruelty and emotional abuse, she has requested a divorce under the Special Marriage Act, 1954.
Marriage and Family
Vijay and Sangeeta married on 25 August 1999. Their relationship lasted nearly three decades and produced two children — a son, Jason Sanjay, and a daughter, Divya Shasha. The wedding was conducted according to Hindu customs and traditions.
Current Status
According to sources, Vijay and Sangeeta have been living separately for almost two years. The case is now in court, with the next hearing scheduled soon. As of now, neither Vijay nor his representatives have made an official statement regarding the matter.
