Overview
- Sangeetha Sornalingam has filed a divorce petition in the Chengalpattu court under Sections 27(1)(a), (b), (d) read with Sections 36 and 37 of the Special Marriage Act, seeking dissolution, permanent alimony, residence rights and in‑camera proceedings.
- In her filing, she alleges Vijay entered an extramarital relationship with an actress discovered in April 2021 and that despite assurances it would end, the association continued, causing mental cruelty, humiliation and emotional neglect.
- The petition states Vijay continued travel and public appearances with the actress, with related social‑media posts causing distress to the family, and claims he imposed financial restrictions; these assertions are allegations, not court findings.
- The court has issued notice for Vijay to appear, with the next hearing scheduled for April 20, 2026, as the matter remains pending before the Chengalpattu family/district court.
- Public reporting on February 27 made the petition widely known, and some outlets say it was filed on December 3, 2025; the couple married in 1998/1999, have two adult children and, per reports, have been living separately with Sangeetha largely based in the UK.
