Kollywood Shock: 27-Year Marriage Ends
News that Thalapathy Vijay and Sangeetha are heading for a divorce after 27 years of marriage is currently going viral on social media, profoundly surprising fans and becoming a hot topic across Kollywood. This development came to light after Sangeetha Swarnalingam reportedly filed a divorce petition in Chengalpattu Family Court. Thalapathy Vijay, a leading actor in the Tamil film industry and the leader of the TVK party, is now navigating a challenging phase in his personal life. His wife, Sangeetha Swarnalingam, is the daughter of a London-based Sri Lankan Tamil industrialist. It is understood that Sangeetha, who currently resides in London and manages her family businesses, possesses assets valued at an astounding Rs. 400 crores.
Their relationship began in the mid-1990s when Sangeetha, then a student in London, became a huge fan after watching one of Vijay’s films. She wrote letters to him and traveled to Chennai with the hope of meeting him in person. Their acquaintance during a film shoot quickly evolved into friendship and then love, leading to their marriage on August 25, 1999, which honored both Hindu and Christian traditions. Throughout their marriage, Sangeetha consistently maintained a low-profile life, staying out of the media spotlight despite Vijay’s superstar status and focusing primarily on their family and children.
The couple has two children: son Jason Sanjay (25), who is exploring a career in film direction, having previously appeared with his father in ‘Vettaikaaran’ and set to make his directorial debut with ‘Sigma’, starring Sundeep Kishan; and daughter Divya Sasha (20), who excels in both academics and sports.
Fan-Love to Court: Allegations Surface
However, Sangeetha’s recently filed petition includes grave allegations, offering insight into what could have led to this divorce. She stated that her husband engaged in an illicit affair with another actress, which caused her immense mental anguish. She further accused him of isolating her both socially and financially. These factors, she informed the court, made divorce an unavoidable necessity.
The case is currently under judicial review, with the court having issued notices to Vijay and set the date for the next hearing. The trajectory of their relationship—from Sangeetha being a devoted fan to becoming his wife, and now to a court case—is deeply affecting many. As the news of Vijay and Sangeetha’s divorce creates considerable ripples in Kollywood, all eyes are on how this situation will unfold and what the future holds for their children and their individual lives. The final outcome of this matter is yet to be seen.
Looking Ahead
As court notices are served and the next hearing awaits, Sangeetha’s Rs 400 Cr asset revelation, a profound turn from her fan-to-wife journey, has truly gripped Kollywood. The verdict will define fortunes, profoundly impacting their children and an entire chapter of Tamil cinema history.
