Actor-turned-politician Thalapathy Vijay faces a personal crisis as his wife Sangeetha files for divorce, citing a two-year separation. The news surfaces amid political ambitions and ‘Jana Nayagan’ censor issues. This confluence of personal, professional, and political challenges marks a demanding period for the star, with a court hearing set for April 20.

Actor and political leader Vijay has found himself in the headlines for a deeply personal reason. His wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has reportedly filed a divorce petition at the Chengalpattu Family Welfare Court, creating a strong buzz across cinema and political circles. For many years, the couple kept their personal life away from the public eye despite Vijay’s massive popularity. That is the reason why this legal move has come as a surprise to fans who always saw him as a devoted family man. What was once discussed quietly has now become an official court matter, bringing his private life into the public space.

Petition filed after two years of separation

According to a report by Cinema Vikatan, Sangeetha has stated that the couple has been living separately for nearly two years and has sought divorce on that basis. The case has been filed in the Chengalpattu Family Welfare Court, with the next hearing scheduled for April 20. Both Vijay and Sangeetha are expected to appear during the proceedings. A separation lasting this long suggests the move was not sudden but the result of a prolonged period of distance. In family court, early stages often explore chances for reconciliation, but this step indicates the matter has been serious for some time.

Political move and back-to-back issues

This development comes at a time when Vijay has already taken a major step by entering politics through Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam. His shift from cinema to full-time public life has increased scrutiny of everything he does. In recent months, he has faced continuous challenges, both politically and professionally. Every development now becomes a talking point because he is no longer just a film star but also a political leader with growing public expectations. Supporters continue to stand by him, but the pressure around him has clearly intensified.

‘Jana Nayagan‘ faces censorship hurdles

Amid all this, his much-awaited film Jana Nayagan is also facing hurdles in the censor process. The film, helmed by H. Vinoth, carries huge expectations and is seen as an important project in Vijay’s career. However, the censor-related issue has added to his current list of concerns. Fans are closely watching how both the legal case and the film’s situation unfold. With personal, political, and cinema matters converging at once, Vijay appears to be navigating one of the most challenging phases of his public journey.
