Vijay’s Wife Sangeetha Files Divorce: Exploring Their Relationship History
Actor and politician Vijay’s wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has filed for divorce in a Chengalpattu court, Tamil Nadu. This decision marks a significant turn in their 27-year relationship.
Sangeetha’s Journey: From Fan to Wife
Their love story began in 1996, sparked by Sangeetha’s admiration for Vijay. As a dedicated fan of his work, she traveled from the UK to Chennai to congratulate him on his film, “Poove Unakkaga.” This meeting set the foundation for their future together.
Impressed by her sincerity, Vijay invited Sangeetha to his home. His parents played a crucial role in their eventual marriage proposal, which took place between 1996 and 1999.
The Wedding and Family Life
Vijay, a Christian, and Sangeetha, a Hindu, celebrated their interfaith marriage on August 25, 1999, in a traditional ceremony in Chennai. The couple welcomed their first child, a son, on August 26, 2000, followed by their daughter Divya Saasha in 2005.
Living a Private Life
From the outset, Sangeetha preferred to maintain a low profile, often avoiding media attention. She has rarely made public appearances, including missing events such as the “Varisu” movie trailer launch, which led to early rumors about their relationship status.
Vijay and Sangeetha have primarily focused on their family, raising their children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha, away from the public eye.
Rumors and Separation Signs
Speculation regarding their separation began in 2023 when Sangeetha was absent from key events, including the “Varisu” audio launch. Although initial reports claimed she was on vacation in the U.S. with her children, her continued absence from major events sparked further concerns.
In 2025, rumors intensified as Sangeetha was once again missing from significant political gatherings, including the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’s second state conference.
The Divorce Filing
Sangeetha’s recent divorce petition brings serious allegations against Vijay. She has accused him of engaging in an extramarital relationship with an actress. Additionally, she is seeking the right to reside in their matrimonial home and is requesting permanent alimony.
This development concludes nearly three decades of marriage, raising questions about their future and the implications for their family life.
