What Actually Happened?
According to Rathnam News, the couple’s divorce has been finalised on mutual terms. This comes after Sangeetha’s petition went viral online, in which she alleged that Vijay had an extra-marital affair with an actress — something she reportedly became aware of in April 2021. She claimed he had assured her the relationship was over, but it allegedly continued.
Reports from IndiaGlitz further suggest Vijay is prepared to pay ₹250 crore as alimony, covering both Sangeetha and their two children. Neither Vijay nor Sangeetha has made an official public statement.
This type of legal process — known in Indian family law as a mutual divorce — allows both parties to separate by consent without a prolonged contested legal battle.
The Trisha Krishnan Connection
Adding fuel to the fire, Vijay was recently spotted attending a wedding in Chennai alongside actress Trisha Krishnan — their first public appearance together amid the ongoing divorce buzz. Before the event, Vijay’s bodyguard Aroon Suresh posted a cryptic Instagram Stories message about “rising above rumours,” which fans quickly connected to the outing.
