Vijay-Sangeetha Divorce Petition: Actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay is in the spotlight following reports that his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has filed for divorce after over two decades of marriage. The development was reported by multiple news outlets, citing details from the petition filed before a District Court.
According to an India Today report, the divorce has been sought under provisions of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, and the matter is currently under judicial consideration. Vijay and Sangeetha were married in August 1999 and have two children – Jason Sanjay and Divya Shasha.
Sangeetha’s Allegations Against Vijay
As per India Today, the petition reportedly cites adultery as a reason for seeking dissolution of the marriage. The report states that Sangeetha has alleged that Vijay was involved in an extramarital relationship with an actress and that she became aware of the alleged relationship in 2021, which she cited as a factor in seeking legal separation.
The petition, according to the report, further claims that despite assurances that the relationship would end, it continued. These assertions form the basis of the legal grounds cited under Section 27(1)(a) and Section 27(1)(d) of the Special Marriage Act, which permit divorce on grounds including adultery and cruelty.
Separately, NDTV reported that the petition was filed before a court in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, and that Sangeetha has sought the right of residence in the matrimonial home along with permanent alimony.
Meanwhile, Asianet News reported that the court has directed Vijay to appear, with the next hearing scheduled for April 20. The report also stated that Sangeetha has alleged severe mental distress and neglect, and claimed that the couple is currently living separately under the same roof at their residence in Neelankarai. According to the report, the petition further claims that Vijay did not agree to dissolve the marriage.
It is important to note that these details are part of court filings and remain allegations at this stage. There has been no official statement from Vijay or his representatives responding to the claims.
With the matter now before the court, further clarity is likely to emerge only through legal proceedings or official statements from the parties involved. For now, the reported contents of the petition have drawn attention across the film industry and among fans, marking a significant development in the actor’s personal life.
