Over the years, Trisha Krishnan has faced waves of speculation, from rumoured marriages to alleged relationships, often without ever publicly feeding the narrative.

Now, she once again finds herself at the centre of online chatter following reports that Sangeetha Sornalingam, wife of actor-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay, has filed for divorce.

For Trisha Krishnan, this is not unfamiliar territory. In 2015, she publicly announced her engagement to Chennai-based businessman Varun Manian. The engagement was called off months later, and she later clarified that her career remained non-negotiable.

As quoted by OnManorama, she said, “That's why my wedding was called off. The person I was supposed to marry, asked me to stop acting. Instead of films, I chose to put a full stop to my engagement. I will only take a break when I get pregnant. If I am not offered lead roles, I will do characters that suit my image but I won't move away from the film industry. My wish is to act until my last breath.”

Most recently, Trisha Krishnan was seen alongside Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief Vijay at a Chennai wedding reception. A short video of the two quickly went viral, once again fuelling public curiosity.

The divorce petition reportedly cites an alleged “extramarital relationship with an actress” as grounds for separation. It states, “Since 2021, the Respondent has emotionally withdrawn, treated the Petitioner with verbal disdain and subjected her to constructive desertion, forcing her to live separately within the matrimonial home.”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 attended public events and travelled abroad with the unnamed actress, adding, “The actress regularly posted photographs of these outings on social media."

As of now, neither Thalapathy Vijay nor Trisha Krishnan has responded to the speculation.

Trisha Krishnan and Thalapathy Vijay share a long professional association. From Ghilli (2004) to Thirupachi, Aathi, Kuruvi and their much-celebrated reunion in Leo (2023), their on-screen chemistry has made them a beloved pair in Tamil cinema.

But beyond their film collaborations, neither has ever publicly acknowledged any romantic involvement.
