The divorce case between Tamil Nadu CM Vijay and his estranged wife Sangeetha Sornalingam was heard at the Chengalpattu Mahila Court on Monday morning. However, no major decision was taken, and the next hearing has now been scheduled for August 7. The divorce proceedings began after Sangeetha filed a petition earlier this year. In her plea, she made allegations related to their marriage and sought separation under the Special Marriage Act. These allegations of having an extramarital affair have not been independently verified or proven in court. According to reports, the couple had earlier missed a scheduled hearing, after which the court asked them to appear again on June 15. Monday’s hearing ended without any major development, and the matter was postponed.

Thalapathy Vijay and Sangeetha Sornalingam’s love story
Talking about Vijay and Sangeetha’s love story, Sangeetha was a big fan of the actor. According to the Economic Times, Vijay’s superhit film Poove Unakkaga was released in the UK and gained popularity not just in India but also abroad. After watching the film, Sangeetha came to Chennai specifically to meet Vijay.
On the set, Vijay and Sangeeta had a few hours of conversation, and during that time, the actor fell for her. Vijay invited Sangeeta for dinner, and she met his parents, who liked her very much. After dating for three years, they got married in 1999 in a Christian ceremony.
Interestingly, Sangeetha Sornalingam comes from a Hindu family, while Thalapathy Vijay is a Christian. Despite their different religious backgrounds, their wedding was conducted according to Hindu customs.
Vijay and Sangeetha have two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Sasha.
On the political front, Vijay’s party, Vijay’s Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), recently recorded a major electoral win in Tamil Nadu, following which he took oath as Chief Minister in May.
