What Happened?
The divorce hearing, originally scheduled for April 20, 2026, has now been postponed — for the second time — to June 15, 2026, as reported by ANI. Sangeetha initiated the formal dissolution of their marriage in late 2025, alleging that Vijay was involved in an extramarital relationship with an actress and had allegedly abandoned his wife and children. These are claims Vijay’s camp has not directly confirmed.

According to NDTV, Vijay’s legal team requested to attend the proceedings via video conferencing, a request that was approved without any objection from Sangeetha’s side. Both parties will reportedly appear remotely.
Vijay’s Public Response?
The superstar didn’t stay silent. While addressing a public gathering in Tamil Nadu’s Nellai, he strongly hinted at the ongoing controversy, telling the crowd that certain people had spread damaging rumours. He reassured his fans, stating that no amount of trials could separate him from his people.
His upcoming political and film commitments — including Jana Nayagan — have kept him firmly in the public eye despite the personal turmoil.
Why This Matters?
Divorce proceedings in India, especially involving public figures, are often complex, subject to multiple adjournments, and intensely scrutinized. For a star of Vijay’s magnitude, every court date becomes national news — making it all the more remarkable that he’s continued his professional commitments without missing a beat.
