Actor-politician Vijay Thalapathy's personal life has taken a dramatic turn as reports confirm that his wife, Sangeetha Vijay, has filed for divorce.

The petition, filed before the District Court at Chengalpattu, seeks dissolution of marriage under Sections 27(1)(a), (b), (d) read with Sections 36 and 37 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954.

Sangeetha, 48, stated that their marriage was first registered in the United Kingdom on July 10, 1998, and a ceremonial Hindu wedding followed on August 25, 1999, at Rajah Muthiah Mandram, Egmore, Chennai.

However, things changed in 2021 after discovering Vijay's adulterous relationship with an actress, causing deep emotional pain and mental suffering, amounting to betrayal and violation of marital trust.

Attempts at reconciliation between September 2021 and February 2022, and again between August 2024 and February 2025, reportedly failed.

The couple's 25-year relationship began in 1996, after the success of Poove Unakkaga, and they tied the knot in a traditional Hindu ceremony attended by family and close friends.

Despite Vijay's superstardom, Sangeetha largely stayed away from the spotlight, rarely attending film or promotional events.

Vijay made a major career shift from cinema to politics in 2024, announcing the formation of his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).

However, Sangeetha's absence from major events organised by TVK reignited whispers of trouble, culminating in confirmation of the divorce proceedings.

The next hearing is reportedly scheduled for April 20, 2026.
