Breaking news from Tamil Nadu: Actor-politician Vijay’s marriage crumbles as wife Sangeeta Sornalingam petitions for divorce at Chengalpattu Family Court. At the heart of the matter is Vijay’s purported affair with an actress, fueling claims of infidelity and abuse.
The petition narrates how the affair surfaced in April 2021, with Vijay vowing to terminate it—only for it to linger, tormenting Sangeeta mentally. Confrontations reportedly soured their dynamic, resulting in curtailed home rights, mobility bans, and economic restrictions.
Leveraging the Special Marriage Act’s provisions on adultery and cruelty, Sangeeta aims to dissolve their bond. Wed in 1999 via Hindu rites, blending Vijay’s Christianity and her Hinduism, they raised Jason Sanjay (2000) and Divya Sasha (2005), toasting with a star-studded Chennai bash.
After 27 years and recent separation, this move shocks fans. Sangeeta’s Sri Lankan Tamil heritage, nurtured in the UK, meets Vijay’s evolution from on-screen hero to TVK leader, a fresh political contender in Tamil Nadu.
This saga underscores the pressures on celebrities entering politics. As proceedings unfold, public fascination grows, potentially influencing Vijay’s trajectory in both realms.
