Thalapathy Vijay’s political party Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam won the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Election. The victory marks his entry into politics as he prepares to become the new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
However, this achievement comes amid personal strife. His estranged wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, filed for divorce after 26 years of marriage.
Sangeetha claims that Vijay was involved in an adulterous relationship with an actress. Reports suggest that Trisha Krishnan is the actress involved.
Sangeetha filed for divorce on February 27, 2026, in the Chengalpattu Family Court. She alleges that Vijay continued the affair even after promising to end it.
Vijay and Sangeetha married on August 25, 1999. They have two children: Jason Sanjay Vijay and Divya Sasha.
A former teacher described Vijay as a shy, obedient, and helpful student—a stark contrast to his on-screen persona in Thalapathy Vijay movies.
As of midday Tuesday, speculation surrounds his future with Trisha Krishnan. She was seen leaving his residence shortly after his election win.
The next ruling in Sangeetha’s divorce case is expected soon. This situation adds complexity to Vijay’s newfound political responsibilities.
