When a 27-year marriage starts unraveling publicly, the questions don’t stop at “why” — they quickly move to “what happens next?” That’s exactly where fans and followers of Thalapathy Vijay find themselves right now. After reports surfaced of wife Sangeetha Sornalingam filing for divorce, details of her alleged financial demands are now making rounds — and they’re significant.

What Has Sangeetha Reportedly Demanded?
According to reports that began circulating on February 27, 2026, Sangeetha’s petition allegedly includes several major financial and legal demands from the Tamil superstar. Here’s a quick breakdown of what she has reportedly sought:
| Alleged Demand | Details |
|---|---|
| Financial Settlement | A substantial lump sum amount (exact figure unspecified) |
| Property | Ownership of the couple’s house in Neelankarai |
| Permanent Alimony | Ongoing monthly financial support post-divorce |
| Legal Expenses | Vijay to bear all costs of the divorce proceedings |
| Grounds Cited | Adultery, desertion, and mental cruelty (unverified) |
These are serious claims — and if accurate, it’s clear that Sangeetha is not approaching this quietly or without preparation.
The Backstory: A Marriage Kept Away From the Spotlight
Vijay and Sangeetha married on August 25, 1999, in both Hindu and Christian ceremonies, honouring the customs of both families. Sangeetha is a Sri Lankan Tamil and the daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur. She was reportedly a fan of Vijay’s long before she became his wife.
For nearly three decades, the couple maintained a remarkably private life. Sangeetha rarely appeared at public events, and the family — including their children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Sasha — largely stayed out of the media.
That privacy makes the very public nature of these reports all the more jarring for the millions who admired their quiet family life.

Why Now? The Alleged Trigger
Reports claim Sangeetha discovered an alleged extramarital affair in April 2021. She reportedly gave the relationship a chance to recover after receiving assurances — but the situation allegedly continued, leading to years of emotional and mental distress before she finally filed the petition.
