Vijay’s Wife Sangeetha Files For Divorce; Petition Cites Adultery Allegations: Report

Vijay's Wife Sangeetha Files For Divorce: Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay is in the news for personal reasons, with reports stating that his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has filed for divorce after more than two decades of marriage.

According to a report by India Today, Sangeetha has moved the court seeking dissolution of their marriage under provisions of the Special Marriage Act, 1954. The couple, who tied the knot in August 1999, have two children - Jason Sanjay and Divya Shasha. The matter is currently before a District Court, and further proceedings are awaited.

As per India Today, the divorce petition cites allegations of adultery and cruelty. The report states that Sangeetha has alleged that Vijay was involved in an extramarital relationship with an actress, a claim that is now part of the court proceedings. In her petition, she reportedly claimed that she became aware of the relationship in 2021 and that this discovery formed the basis of her decision to seek legal separation.

The report further mentions that, according to the petition, despite assurances that the relationship would end, it allegedly continued. These claims have been placed before the court as grounds under Section 27(1)(a) and Section 27(1)(d) of the Special Marriage Act, which allow a spouse to seek divorce on grounds including adultery and cruelty.

There has been no public statement from Vijay or his representatives regarding the development so far. Sangeetha has largely stayed away from the public spotlight over the years. The couple had maintained a relatively private family life despite Vijay's high-profile career in cinema and, more recently, politics.

Personal development unfolds during a busy phase in actor's career

The news comes at a time when Vijay has been navigating both film-related challenges and expanding political commitments. His upcoming film Jana Nayagan has faced release delays in recent weeks, drawing industry attention. However, the focus now has shifted to his personal life following the reported legal move.

As the matter is sub judice, further details are expected to emerge only through court proceedings or official statements. For now, the development has drawn attention across fan circles and the industry, marking a significant development in the actor's personal life after over 26 years of marriage.
