Vijay's wife files for divorce after 27 years: All details
Sangeetha Sornalingam has filed for divorce from actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay after nearly three decades together.
She told the Chengalpattu Family Court that Vijay had an ongoing affair with an actress, which she discovered in 2021.
Even after he promised to end things, the relationship continued: photos of them together at events made their way online, leaving Sangeetha and their kids feeling sidelined and embarrassed.
She alleged financial cruelty, has sought permanent alimony and the right of residence, and said she was excluded from his social and professional life.
Timeline of their relationship
Sangeetha first met Vijay as a fan before they married in 1999.
They married on August 25, 1999 (the wedding included both Hindu and Christian rituals).
Their early years were reportedly happy; she discovered the alleged relationship in 2021, and the source does not date any reconciliation attempts.
Now, Sangeetha is seeking residence rights and alimony.
