Thalapathy Vijay, a leading figure in Tamil cinema and politics, is facing a significant personal crisis as his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, filed for divorce on February 24, 2026. Their relationship began in 1996 when Sangeetha, a Sri Lankan Tamil raised in London, became enamored with Vijay after watching his film *Poove Unakkaga*. Following a three-year courtship, they married in a grand ceremony in Chennai on August 25, 1999, blending Hindu and Christian traditions. The couple has two children: Jason Sanjay, born in 2000, and Divya Saasha, born in 2005. While Jason has chosen to pursue filmmaking, Divya is currently studying abroad. Throughout Vijay's rise to fame, Sangeetha remained largely out of the public eye, leading to speculation about their marriage when she missed several industry events. In her divorce petition, Sangeetha alleged that Vijay was involved in an extramarital affair, despite his assurances to end the relationship. As Vijay's political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, prepares to form the government in Tamil Nadu after winning 108 seats in the recent assembly elections, the couple's personal issues remain unaddressed publicly.
