Sangeetha Sornalingam has filed for divorce from Vijay Thalapathy after 27 years of marriage, citing allegations of infidelity and emotional neglect. The couple, who married in 1999 after dating since 1996, have two children together: Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha.
In her divorce petition, Sangeetha claims to have discovered Vijay’s alleged affair in April 2021. She describes their bond as ‘irretrievably broken’ and alleges mental cruelty in addition to emotional neglect. The document also notes that multiple attempts to resolve their issues amicably between 2021 and 2025 were unsuccessful.
Vijay Thalapathy, a prominent figure in Tamil cinema, has not publicly commented on the divorce filing. His career has seen significant success, and he is known for his political ambitions as well. Observers speculate that this personal turmoil may impact his public image and professional endeavors.
Sangeetha Sornalingam, who is of Sri Lankan Tamil descent, was born on June 22, 1974. She has largely maintained a private life despite being married to a celebrity. Their marriage had faced rumors of trouble, particularly following Sangeetha’s absence from major events associated with Vijay.
The couple initially registered their marriage in the UK in 1998 before returning to India, where they built a family. Their children are now young adults—Jason Sanjay will be 25 by early 2026, while Divya Saasha will turn 20.
As this situation unfolds, legal experts suggest that the proceedings could take time given the complexities involved in celebrity divorces. The public will be watching closely as more details emerge regarding the allegations and how they may affect both parties moving forward.
