- From fan to wife: Who is Thalapathy Vijay's wife Sangeetha Sornalingam? She now wants divorce. What are her accusations against the actor-politician?
Wife of Tamil cinema superstar and politician Joseph Vijay Chandrasekhar, Sangeetha, has filed for divorce in the Chengalpattu family court, citing an alleged extramarital affair with an actress, according to news agency ANI. Vijay, known for his three-decade-long film career, box-office hits, and a massive fan following as 'Thalapathy', has always kept his personal life private. The sudden public revelation of marital discord has sent shockwaves across both his cinematic and political circles.
According to ANI, Sankgeetha’s divorce petition accuses Vijay of having an "adulterous relationship" with an actress, which she discovered in April 2021. She claims this caused her significant emotional pain and a sense of betrayal, while his ongoing association with the actress added to her distress and embarrassed their children. The petition also highlights a period of emotional withdrawal by Vijay, verbal hostility, and constructive desertion, which reportedly forced Sankgeetha to live separately within the marital home, even as he continued traveling abroad and appearing publicly with the actress.
