Vijay Thalapathy’s wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, filed for divorce on February 27, 2026, at the Chengalpattu Family Court. This development comes amid his political success with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam party winning the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Election, raising questions about his personal life.
Sangeetha cited infidelity, mental torment, and emotional neglect as reasons for the divorce. The couple began dating in 1996 and married in 1999. They registered their marriage in the UK in 1998 and celebrated a grand ceremony in Chennai.
The couple has two children: Jason Sanjay, born in 2000, and Divya Saasha, born in 2005. Sangeetha claimed that Vijay had an alleged affair with a female actress. Speculation on social media has linked him to his co-star Trisha Krishnan, though these claims are unverified.
Sangeetha felt her efforts in the marriage were ‘wasted’ as Vijay did not respond to her. She stated, “Despite many assurances, Vijay continued his illicit relationship.” Vijay has not yet reacted to the speculation surrounding his divorce.
Sangeetha comes from a Hindu Tamil family, while Vijay’s father is Christian and his mother is Hindu. Their interfaith marriage has been a topic of discussion within their community.
Observers note that this personal turmoil could impact Vijay’s political career moving forward. His celebrity status, combined with the ongoing speculation about his private life, may influence public perception as he navigates this challenging chapter.
