The Tamil film industry has been abuzz ever since news broke that Sangeetha Sornalingam, wife of actor and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief Vijay, has filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage.

For many fans who have watched Vijay’s journey from a young romantic hero to a political leader, the development has come as an emotional jolt.

In her petition, Sangeetha Sornalingam has reportedly cited alleged infidelity as the primary reason behind the split. While no names have been mentioned in the filing, social media has been quick to speculate.

Who is actress Trisha Krishnan

A section of online users has begun linking the rumours to actress Trisha Krishnan, though there has been no official confirmation or statement from any of the individuals involved.

Trisha Krishnan, for her part, has long been one of South Indian cinema’s most admired and successful actresses. She entered the industry with Jodi in 1999, but it was Varsham in 2004, opposite Prabhas, that established her as a leading lady.

Over the years, she has worked alongside many of the biggest names in Tamil and Telugu cinema, building a career marked by both commercial hits and critically acclaimed performances.

From Ghilli and Saamy to Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and Ponniyin Selvan: I, Trisha Krishnan has consistently remained relevant in an industry that can be unforgiving.

Her on-screen reunion with Vijay in Leo further reignited audience nostalgia, reminding fans of their earlier collaborations.

Brand endorsements and public appearances add significantly to her income, with reports suggesting she commands nearly Rs 9 crore for major deals.

Amid the swirling speculation, it is worth noting that divorce proceedings are deeply personal matters. Neither Vijay nor Trisha Krishnan has commented on the rumours.
