Actor-Politician Vijay’s Wife Files for Divorce
The couple was married for 27 years, have 2 children. The actor’s wife Sangeeta has requested alimony and residence rights in their matrimonial home
Actor-politician and TVK chief Vijay’s wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has filed for divorce at the Chengalpattu Family Court earlier this month. According to court sources, the first hearing was held on February 18, 2026.
In her petition, Sangeetha alleged that Vijay was involved in an extramarital relationship with an unnamed actress, which she said she discovered in 2021. She claimed the relationship continued thereafter. Despite the strain, the couple continued to live together for some time, she stated.
Sangeetha has sought dissolution of their 27-year marriage — the couple wed in 1999 — and has requested residence rights in their matrimonial home along with permanent alimony. They have reportedly been living separately for nearly two years.
Court sources said the next hearing is scheduled for March 30, 2026, and Vijay has been directed to appear in person.
Sangeetha is the daughter of a Sri Lankan Tamil businessman. She met Vijay in 1996. The couple has two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Sasha.
