New Delhi. South Indian superstar and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thalapathy Vijay is currently in the news more for his personal life than for his films. The news of his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam filing a divorce petition and then abruptly withdrawing it has sparked a flurry of discussion among fans. The story of this nearly 27-year-old relationship is nothing short of a film script. Sangeetha, who once visited Vijay as a fan, gradually became an important part of his life, and the two married with the consent of their families. However, the rift in their relationship after several years and the legal process of divorce surprised everyone. Now, with the withdrawal of the petition, the story has taken a new turn.

Sangeetha Sornalingam hails from a Sri Lankan Tamil business family and has lived in Britain for a long time. She is said to have been a huge fan of Vijay. In 1996, when Vijay’s film Poove Unakkaga was a huge success, Sangeeta traveled to India to meet him. She visited Vijay’s shooting location and congratulated the actor on the film’s success. Vijay was impressed by Sangeeta’s easygoing nature and passion for Tamil cinema. He then invited her to his home and meet his family. This was the beginning of their relationship, which gradually blossomed into love.

Vijay’s parents, director S.A. Chandrasekhar and singer Shobha Chandrasekhar, also liked Sangeeta. Discussions between the two families led to a decision on marriage. According to reports, the couple registered their marriage in London in 1998. They then tied the knot in 1999 at the Rajah Muthiah Hall in Chennai, following traditional rituals. Following the wedding, they hosted a reception for family and film industry figures. Vijay and Sangeeta have two children: a son named Jason Sanjay and a daughter named Divya Sasha.

After nearly two and a half decades of marriage, news emerged that Sangeeta filed for divorce from Vijay in February 2026. Reports claimed that the petition also included allegations of extramarital affairs against Vijay. Sangeeta reportedly learned of this in April 2021. However, public information regarding these personal allegations has been limited. Reports suggest that the two had been estranged for a long time, and the matter later reached legal proceedings.

But the biggest twist in this entire story came on August 7, 2026, when Sangeeta appeared in court via video conferencing and withdrew her divorce petition. It was reported that the case was closed after approximately 15 minutes of court proceedings. The withdrawal of the divorce petition has now sparked renewed speculation about Vijay and Sangeeta’s relationship. Although neither has issued a detailed public statement regarding the current status of their relationship, the story of Vijay and Sangeeta is also special because it began with a meeting between a fan and a superstar. A brief encounter blossomed into love, and then, with the consent of their families, they decided to spend their lives together. After 27 years, a divorce petition brought the relationship back into the spotlight, but with the petition being withdrawn, the story once again appears incomplete. Now, fans are watching to see how Vijay and Sangeeta approach their relationship in the future.
