Tamil superstar Vijay’s personal life is under the spotlight as his wife Sangeeta has approached the Chengalpattu Family Court seeking divorce. The core allegation: Vijay’s ongoing extramarital relationship with an actress, despite assurances to sever ties.
The saga unfolded in April 2021 when Sangeeta discovered the affair. Vijay assured her it was over, but the petition states the liaison continued, inflicting severe mental agony. Post-confrontation, she alleges Vijay became distant, curbing her freedoms at home, travel, and finances.
Filed under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, the plea highlights mental harassment and cruelty as grounds for dissolution. Married since 1999 in a traditional Hindu wedding—bridging their Christian and Hindu faiths—the couple parented Jason Sanjay and Divya Sasha.
Living apart for two years now, after 27 years together, the couple’s separation marks a poignant end. Sangeeta’s UK-upbringing from Sri Lankan Tamil roots contrasts Vijay’s meteoric rise from actor to TVK chief, positioning him as a political force in Tamil Nadu.
Fans and observers are stunned, wondering how this will impact Vijay’s dual career. The entertainment and political circles buzz with speculation, as the court proceedings could reveal more intimate details of their fractured bond.
