Hyderabad: Actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay has been hittong headlines ever since his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, filed for divorce at the Chengalpattu district court. In her petition, she accused Vijay of infidelity and of having an alleged relationship with a female co-star, though no name has been mentioned in the court documents.

While speculation around the couple’s separation continues to dominate social media, Vijay has remained silent on the allegations. Days after the petition came to light, the actor addressed the public for the first time, not about his personal life, but to encourage students appearing for their Class 12 board examinations.

Thalapathy Vijay’s social media post

On Monday, March 2, Vijay took to X to share a message in Tamil for students in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. He wished them well and urged them to face their exams without fear or anxiety, adding that success and a bright future awaited them.

His post, written in Tamil, read, “Heartfelt greetings to my dear younger brothers and sisters who are writing the 12th standard public exam in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.”

“You all, who are set to create a prosperous society tomorrow, face this exam without anxiety, without fear, and with courage. Advance wishes to excel in higher education as well! Only good will happen! Victory is certain!”

Thalapathy Vijay and Sangeetha’s marriage

Vijay married Sangeetha, a Sri Lankan Tamil who resides in the UK, in 1998. The couple has two children son Jason Sanjay and daughter Divya Saasha. While Vijay’s film career soared over the years, Sangeetha largely stayed away from the limelight and maintained a low public profile.

Sangeetha’s divorce petition

According to the petition, Sangeetha alleged that Vijay had been involved in an extramarital relationship since 2021, which caused her emotional distress and a breakdown of marital trust. However, the identity of the actress mentioned in the complaint has not been disclosed.

Meanwhile, social media has been abuzz with speculation linking Vijay to Trisha Krishnan, with whom he has worked in several films, beginning with Ghilli. Fans have pointed to Trisha’s recent social media posts featuring heart and infinity emojis while referring to Vijay and the re-release of Ghilli, further fuelling rumours.

Neither Vijay nor Trisha has issued any statement regarding the claims.
