In a major development that has sent shockwaves across the Tamil film industry, actor Vijay’s wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, has reportedly filed for divorce after 25 years of marriage. According to multiple reports, Sangeeta has approached the Chengalpattu family court, alleging marital infidelity as the reason behind the separation.

Reports claim that Sangeeta has accused Vijay of being involved in an extramarital relationship with a female co-star. It is further alleged in the petition that she became aware of the relationship in 2021 and that despite assurances from Vijay, the association allegedly continued. However, neither Vijay nor Sangeeta has issued an official public statement regarding the matter at the time of writing.

Who is Sangeeta Sornalingam?

Sangeeta Sornalingam hails from a Sri Lankan Tamil family and is the daughter of London-based businessman Sornalingam. She reportedly first admired Vijay after watching his 1996 film Poove Unakkaga. Determined to meet him, she travelled from London to Chennai, and what began as admiration soon turned into a relationship.

While studying at the University of London, she is said to have written letters to Vijay, eventually leading to their romance. The couple tied the knot on August 25, 1999, in both Christian and Hindu ceremonies, with a significant fan presence marking the occasion.

Over the years, Sangeeta maintained a low profile despite being married to one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars. She was often seen at film events and audio launches during the early years of their marriage but gradually stepped away from the public spotlight. Reports suggest she later relocated to London to manage family business interests.

Their Children

Vijay and Sangeeta share two children — son Jason Sanjay and daughter Divya Saasha. Jason made a brief appearance alongside his father in Vettaikaaran (2009) and is now reportedly gearing up for his directorial debut with Sigma, starring Sundeep Kishan. Divya appeared in Theri (2016) and is said to be pursuing badminton at a professional level. Throughout their marriage, the family maintained a relatively private life, rarely addressing personal matters publicly.

Divorce Proceedings

As per reports, Sangeeta has formally sought separation, citing infidelity in her petition. The legal proceedings are said to be underway, with further details expected to emerge as the case progresses.The news has sparked intense discussions among fans and industry insiders alike, given Vijay’s towering stature in Tamil cinema and his recent political aspirations.

For now, all eyes remain on official confirmation from the actor or his representatives.
