In a significant development in the Tamil Nadu film and political landscape, Sangeetha Sornalingam, the wife of actor-politician Vijay, has filed for divorce in a court located in Chengalpattu. Sangeetha’s petition seeks the dissolution of their 26-year marriage, citing alleged infidelity on Vijay’s part, specifically mentioning an extramarital relationship with an actress.
Divorce Filing Details
The divorce petition includes several serious allegations against Vijay. Sangeetha claims that the marriage has become “an existence only on paper.” She highlights emotional pain, mental suffering, and feelings of betrayal attributed to her husband’s actions.
Key Allegations
- Emotional pain and mental suffering.
- Allegations of repeated humiliation and emotional agony.
- Claim of financial restrictions and limited freedom of movement.
Sangeetha has requested that she retain the right to live in their matrimonial home and also seeks permanent alimony. Furthermore, she has asked for the court proceedings to be private due to the sensitive nature of the situation.
Background Information
Sangeetha and Vijay were married in 1998 in the UK and reaffirmed their vows in 1999 in India. The couple shares two children: Jason Sanjay, aged 25, and Divya Saasha, aged 20. Over the years, Sangeetha transitioned from being a supportive spouse at Vijay’s promotional events to largely remaining out of the public eye, especially during his political activities with the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).
Current Status of the Case
As of now, Vijay has not publicly responded to the divorce filing. His team has also remained silent regarding inquiries about the case. Sources indicate that Sangeetha’s petition includes a request for an injunction against the dissemination of speculative information related to their situation, asserting that such reports could cause her further humiliation.
About Vijay
Vijay, a prominent figure in the Tamil film industry, is also preparing to release his film “Jana Nayagan,” which is expected to be a significant project before he campaigns for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Recently, he has faced scrutiny due to appearances before the Central Bureau of Investigation regarding a tragic stampede at one of his political rallies.
This highly publicized divorce case is expected to attract considerable attention, both in the media and among fans, as it unfolds in the coming weeks.
