The news has come as a shock to many. After 25 years of marriage, Sangeeta Sornalingam, wife of Tamil superstar and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay, has reportedly filed for divorce.

The petition, submitted before the Chengalpattu family court, has brought into the open a relationship that fans long viewed as steady, private and deeply rooted in affection.

Sangeeta Sornalingam’s story with Vijay once felt like something out of a film script. The daughter of London-based businessman Sornalingam, Sangeeta Sornalingam is a Sri Lankan Tamil who first admired Vijay after watching his 1996 hit Poove Unakkaga.

So moved was she by his performance that she travelled from London to Chennai just to meet him. While studying at the University of London, she is said to have written him several letters. What began as admiration gradually turned into friendship, and then into love.

The couple married on 25 August 1999 in ceremonies that honoured both Christian and Hindu traditions. Their wedding was attended not just by family and friends but also by Vijay’s devoted fans, reflecting the unique space their relationship held in the public imagination.

Over the years, Sangeeta Sornalingam maintained a graceful distance from the spotlight, even as Vijay’s career soared and he later stepped into politics.

According to reports, she eventually relocated to London to manage her family’s business interests. Times Now has reported that she shares warm friendships within the Tamil film industry, including with Shalini Ajith Kumar and Aarti Ravi. Various reports also suggest that she holds substantial personal assets.

According to ANI, “Actor & TVK chief Vijay’s wife, Sangeetha, has filed a petition for divorce in the Chengalpattu family court. In her petition, Sangeetha has accused Vijay of having an extramarital relationship (with an actress) and has sought divorce on those grounds.”

The petition further alleges that in 2021 she discovered that Vijay “was involved in an adulterous relationship with an actress,” and that despite assurances, the relationship continued.

Vijay and Sangeeta Sornalingam share two children — Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha — who have largely stayed away from public attention. Jason Sanjay is preparing for his directorial debut with Sigma, while Divya Saasha is reportedly pursuing badminton.

For fans who grew up watching their journey unfold, the development feels deeply personal. As of now, neither Vijay nor Sangeeta Sornalingam has spoken publicly beyond the reported filing, leaving many reflecting on a love story that once seemed timeless.
