  • Reports claim Vijay's wife Sangeetha has filed for divorce
  • Rumors link actress Trisha to the case, but no proof exists
  • Vijay mourns stampede deaths at his political rally in Karur

New reports have brought Thalapathy Vijay's personal life into the public eye for different reasons. Reports suggest that his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has filed for divorce after 26 years of marriage and that the reason she has mentioned in the divorce is infidelity.

The couple got married on August 25, 1999, and they have two kids. They have mostly kept their family life out of the public eye over the years. There has been a lot of talk on social media about the rumored divorce, but neither Vijay nor Sangeetha has made an official statement or confirmed it.

Actress Trisha Krishnan has been called the "other woman" in online conversations, which adds to the rumors. But these claims are still unproven and based only on guesswork, with no explanation from the people involved.

Tamil FilmiBeat has a report that hasn't been confirmed by anyone else yet that says Vijay might pay Rs 250 crore in alimony and take care of their kids. The same report also says that the divorce petition could be dvropped if both sides agree on something.

With all the personal rumors going around, Vijay recently talked about a terrible event that happened at his political rally in Karur, Tamil Nadu. Reports say that more than three lakh people came to the event, which later got out of hand and caused a stampede. Reports say that the number of deaths rose to 39.

Vijay went to X (formerly Twitter) to talk about his grief. He said he was heartbroken and in pain that he couldn't describe because so many people had died. He sent his condolences to the families of the dead and hoped for a quick recovery for the injured.

Many well-known people also spoke out about the tragedy. Rajinikanth, a famous actor, said the news broke his heart and sent his condolences. Rahul Gandhi, a leader in Congress, said he was very sad and asked party members to help victims and support relief efforts.
