Tamil superstar and politician Thalapathy Vijay faces a personal storm as his Sri Lankan-origin wife Sangeetha files for divorce, citing alleged infidelity, sending shockwaves across cinema and politics.
Tamil film icon and political leader Thalapathy Vijay is facing intense public attention after reports emerged that his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has filed for divorce in the Chengalpattu family court. According to news agency ANI, the petition cites an alleged extramarital affair with an actress as the primary reason for seeking separation.
For decades, Vijay has maintained a carefully guarded private life despite his towering presence in Tamil cinema. The revelation of marital discord has therefore stunned both his loyal fan base and members of his political movement. Known widely as Thalapathy, Vijay built a reputation not only as a box office powerhouse but also as a disciplined public figure who rarely allowed personal matters to surface.
Married in 1999, Vijay and Sangeetha, who is of Sri Lankan origin, have two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya. Throughout his three decade career, the actor turned politician kept family matters away from media glare, strengthening his image as a grounded and family oriented star.
Vijay’s film journey began with romantic and youthful roles in movies such as Coimbatore Mappillai, Kadalukku Mariadaai and Once More. He later transitioned into action driven blockbusters, cementing his status among India’s highest paid actors. With 69 films and numerous awards, his influence expanded beyond cinema into politics through the launch of Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam.
As this legal battle unfolds, the controversy marks an unexpected chapter in the life of one of Tamil Nadu’s most powerful entertainment and political figures.
