Chennai: In a development that has drawn significant public attention, Sangeetha, the wife of popular Tamil actor and politician Vijay, has reportedly moved a family court seeking divorce.
According to legal sources, the petition was filed recently in Chennai, citing irreconcilable differences. While the exact details mentioned in the filing have not been made public, individuals familiar with the matter said the couple has been living separately for some time.
Vijay, often referred to by his fans as “Thalapathy,” is one of the leading stars in the Tamil film industry and the founder of the political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. The actor married Sangeetha in 1999, and the couple has two children.
Neither Vijay nor Sangeetha has issued an official public statement regarding the divorce petition so far. Representatives close to the actor have declined to comment, stating that it is a personal matter.
The news has sparked widespread discussion among fans and followers on social media, with many expressing surprise at the development. Legal experts note that family court proceedings are typically conducted in private, and further details may emerge only if either party chooses to speak publicly.
The case is expected to come up for preliminary hearing in the coming weeks.
