Vijay's 25-year marriage hits rough waters as wife files for divorce
Sangeetha files for divorce from Vijay, alleging an extramarital relationship; after 25 years of marriage and two children, a high-profile family crisis unfolds amid Vijay's rising political profile.
In a development that has put a long-running celebrity marriage in the spotlight, Sangeetha has filed for divorce from Tamil cinema icon Vijay, alleging an extramarital relationship with an actress. The petition marks a dramatic new chapter in a union that began in the public eye and has remained largely private throughout the star’s ascent in film and, more recently, politics.
The couple’s journey began as a fan interaction that blossomed into a romance. Their marriage was first registered in the United Kingdom on July 10, 1998, and later celebrated in Chennai with a Hindu wedding at Rajah Muthiah Hall on August 25, 1999, followed by a grand reception. They went on to raise two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya, whose lives have largely stayed away from the spotlight.
Even as Vijay evolved into one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars and took on political responsibilities, Sangeetha kept a low profile, rarely attending public events. In recent years, her absence from some public appearances and party functions fueled rumors of strain within the marriage, though those rumors were never confirmed.
The core of the divorce petition centers on an alleged extramarital relationship. It states that the respondent, after assuring to end the relationship, continued the affair without remorse. More details about the development are awaited as legal proceedings move forward.
Family perspectives have echoed a mix of admiration and caution. Vijay’s father, director S.A. Chandrasekhar, has previously described Sangeetha as someone who watches his every professional move and offers candid feedback, underscoring the close, though often scrutinized, dynamic behind the scenes. As the case unfolds, both supporters and critics will be watching how this personal crisis intersects with Vijay’s public life and career.
