Vijay-Sangeetha's divorce case hearing postponed to June
20 Apr 2026
The Chengalpet family court has scheduled a hearing for the ongoing divorce case between actor-politician Vijay and his wife Sangeetha on June 15.
The proceedings are based on a petition filed by Sangeetha in February, accusing Vijay of infidelity.
Despite being listed for Monday, April 20, neither party attended the hearing, prompting the judge to order their appearance in June.
They got married in August 1999 and share two children.
Allegations of infidelity and extramarital affair
Allegations
In her divorce petition, Sangeetha accused Vijay of having an extramarital affair with a female actor, which she discovered in 2021.
Despite his assurances to end the relationship, she alleged that he continued without remorse.
The petition also claimed that Vijay isolated Sangeetha from his social and professional circles while traveling abroad and attending public events with the alleged mistress.
Female actor shared pictures from trips, claims petition
Social media impact
The plea further highlighted that the female actor often posted pictures from these trips on social media, which Sangeetha claimed caused her and their two children repeated humiliation.
The petition accused Vijay of withdrawing facilities previously available to Sangeetha and imposing financial restrictions, including limiting her free movement.
These allegations have been cited as grounds for divorce under Section 27(1)(a) and 27(1)(d) of the Special Marriage Act.
Marriage exists only on paper: Petition
Mental trauma
Sangeetha went on to allege that Vijay's conduct and the controversies on social media in 2024 subjected her to severe mental trauma.
She claimed that their marriage has effectively broken down and exists only on paper.
The actor's ongoing behavior has caused her nothing but "mental agony, indignity, humiliation, and suffering."
