Sangeetha has filed for divorce from actor Thalapathy Vijay after 27 years of marriage, citing mental cruelty in her petition submitted in December 2025.

In a development that has sent shockwaves through Tamil cinema and political circles, Sangeetha has filed for divorce from actor Thalapathy Vijay after nearly three decades of marriage. The petition was reportedly submitted before the Principal District Judge’s court in Chengalpattu in December 2025 and came into the public domain on February 27, 2026.

According to details cited from the filing, Sangeetha has alleged that Vijay entered into a relationship with a leading actress in April 2021. The petition claims this led to mental cruelty, restrictions on her personal movement, and financial constraints. She has sought alimony, residential rights and custody of their two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha.

The couple, who married in 1999 in an interfaith ceremony, have long maintained a low profile regarding their personal life. The timing of the divorce proceedings has sparked intense debate online, particularly as Vijay has recently intensified his political outreach ahead of the 2026 elections under his party banner. While some supporters have alleged political motives behind the leak, others have called for privacy and restraint.

As the matter is now before the court, further clarity is expected through legal proceedings. Beyond celebrity intrigue, the episode underscores how personal disputes involving public figures often unfold under intense scrutiny, especially when politics enters the frame.
