Vijay and Sangeetha's Divorce Case Adjourned Again Amid Serious Allegations
Latest Developments in Vijay and Sangeetha's Divorce Proceedings
The divorce case involving actor and politician Vijay and his estranged spouse Sangeetha Sornalingam took a new turn on June 15, as the Chengalpattu Mahila Court postponed the hearing to August 7. Both parties attended the court session following a summons, but no settlement was reached. This case has garnered significant attention due to Vijay's prominence in Tamil cinema and his recent election as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. Sangeetha has filed for legal dissolution of their 30-year marriage, citing various reasons under the Special Marriage Act, including allegations of infidelity.
As reported, the court session commenced in the morning with both Vijay and Sangeetha present, having been ordered to appear in person after missing a previous hearing in April. The court had previously denied requests from both sides to attend virtually, emphasizing the necessity of their physical presence. The hearing ended without any resolution and was rescheduled for August, despite hopes for a breakthrough.
Sangeetha's divorce petition contains serious allegations against Vijay, including claims of adultery and cruelty. She asserts that she discovered his alleged affair with another actress in 2021. Although the court documents do not specify the actress's name, Sangeetha mentions that she was led to believe the relationship would end after repeated assurances from Vijay, who continued to maintain close public ties with the actress. This situation has reportedly caused her and their children significant emotional distress.
The petition outlines a gradual deterioration of their marriage, citing emotional detachment, poor communication, and a hostile home environment. Sangeetha claims she felt isolated as Vijay prioritized his professional and political responsibilities. Additionally, she highlights financial limitations and restrictions affecting her daily life, arguing that these factors contribute to the irreparable breakdown of their marriage.
Vijay and Sangeetha's relationship dates back to the late 1990s, culminating in their marriage in 1999 after Sangeetha became a fan of his work. Over the years, they evolved into one of the most recognized couples in the South Indian entertainment scene. The couple has two children: a son named Jason Sanjay and a daughter, Divya Sasha.
