What began as a legal development has quickly turned into a social media storm.
Ever since news emerged that Sangeetha Sornalingam, wife of Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay, has filed for divorce, conversations online have grown louder — and more speculative.
With no name mentioned in the filing, speculation has filled the vacuum. A significant section of social media users has pointed towards Trisha Krishnan, one of Thalapathy Vijay’s most frequent co-stars. Posts and comments quickly began circulating. One user wrote, "Cheater Vijay is having an extramarital affair with Trisha." Another wrote, "narcissist vijay with whom ? Trisha"

People created and celebrated edits of Trisha and Vijay. Vijay even had a kissing scene in Leo while knowing his wife was aware of everything. Trisha stood by him through it all. Sangeetha, the woman who bore his children, does not deserve this.It is unfortunate how some men… https://t.co/oFvijgxXMb — 𝓫𝓾𝓭𝓭-𝔂 🦢 (@RenewedFrmToxic) February 27, 2026
Another said, "So the rumor about his extramarital affair with Trisha is true. How sad. More power to Sangeetha!" A third added, "So all the rumours about Vijay-Trisha were true."

Fans have even begun revisiting older social media posts. Trisha Krishnan had shared a photograph with Thalapathy Vijay captioned, "Happy Birthday bestest." On his 2024 birthday, she had written, "The calm to a storm, the storm to a calm! To many more milestones ahead," describing him as “the calm to my chaos.” At the time, these messages were seen as warm and friendly; now, they are being interpreted differently by some online users.
Trisha Krishnan and Thalapathy Vijay share a long professional history. From Ghilli in 2004 to Thirupachi, Aathi and Kuruvi, their on-screen chemistry made them one of Tamil cinema’s most beloved pairs. Their reunion in Leo (2023) further delighted fans.
In her petition before the Chengalpattu Family Court, Sangeetha Sornalingam cited an alleged “extramarital relationship with an actress” as grounds for separation. While the document does not name anyone, it paints a picture of emotional distance.
The petition states, “Since 2021, the Respondent has emotionally withdrawn, treated the Petitioner with verbal disdain and subjected her to constructive desertion, forcing her to live separately within the matrimonial home.”
It further alleges that Thalapathy Vijay travelled abroad and attended public events with the actress he was reportedly involved with, adding, “The actress regularly posted photographs of these outings on social media."
As things stand, neither Thalapathy Vijay nor Trisha Krishnan has publicly responded to the speculation.
For now, the only confirmed development remains the divorce petition — and the rest continues to unfold largely in the court of public opinion.
