Tamil cinema superstar and politician Vijay, widely known as Thalapathy Vijay, has shared his first social media post after news emerged that his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam filed a divorce petition. However, the actor refrained from addressing the allegations directly and instead chose to extend his wishes to students appearing for board examinations.
For the past few days, the Thalapathy Vijay divorce controversy has dominated headlines after reports surfaced that Sangeetha filed a petition in the Chengalpattu District Court. The petition reportedly alleges that an extramarital relationship was a key reason behind the breakdown of their marriage. It further claims that the alleged relationship began in April 2021 and caused emotional distress and mental agony.
According to details in the petition, the marriage between Vijay and Sangeetha was harmonious in its earlier years but gradually deteriorated. The document reportedly states that the couple’s relationship was peaceful at the time of their wedding but changed after the alleged second relationship came to light. It is also claimed that Vijay had assured Sangeetha he would end the alleged relationship, but the petition contends that the situation did not improve.
Vijay and Sangeetha were married on August 25, 1999, following traditional Tamil and Hindu rituals in Chennai. The couple also have two children. The divorce petition reportedly seeks residential rights in the matrimonial home or equivalent accommodation and requests permanent maintenance support aligned with Vijay’s income and social standing.
Despite the growing public discussion surrounding his personal life, Vijay has not issued any official statement addressing the allegations. Instead, he posted a message on X, formerly Twitter, wishing good luck to students appearing for the +2 board exams in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. In his post, he encouraged students to face exams with courage and confidence, writing that victory is certain for those who remain fearless.
The timing of the message has sparked conversations online. Many fans interpreted the post as an attempt to shift focus toward positivity and public engagement rather than addressing the controversy. The Thalapathy Vijay divorce controversy has also become a topic of debate within Tamil Nadu’s political and entertainment circles, given Vijay’s expanding role in public life.
Currently balancing film commitments and political activities, Vijay appears to have chosen restraint in responding publicly. His first message after the controversy avoided personal commentary and instead emphasised encouragement and optimism for students.
While legal proceedings are expected to continue, the actor’s decision to maintain silence on the matter underscores a clear separation between his personal challenges and his public persona. For now, the Thalapathy Vijay divorce controversy remains confined to legal channels, even as public attention continues to grow
