Vijay's wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, has filed a petition for separation after over 25 years of marriage.
The court documents show that Sangeeta initiated legal proceedings in early 2026 before the District Court in Chengalpattu, seeking dissolution of their marriage and interim residential rights.
Sangeeta has sought an interim order allowing her to continue residing at the couple's matrimonial home at Casuarina Drive in Chennai, until the case reaches final disposal.
The petition states that she discovered in April 2021 that Vijay was allegedly involved in an 'adulterous relationship' with an actress, which she claims caused emotional distress and breakdown of marital trust.
The Chengalpattu court has reportedly issued a notice to Vijay, directing his appearance in the matter.
