Because Thalapathy Vijay is gaining a lot of support in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, his private life has become a really popular story online. Everyone’s asking where Sangeetha Sornalingam is and what is really happening with Trisha Krishnan.
Why everyone is asking about Sangeetha now
Since the election, people have been celebrating outside Vijay’s house in Chennai, but Vijay himself hasn’t been seen. And, to make things even more interesting, people in the film industry like Trisha Krishnan have been seen at his home, while Vijay hasn’t shown up.
All the attention is now on Sangeetha. Many reports say she’s currently living in London, has a British passport, runs her family’s business in the UK and considers London to be her main home. She apparently comes to Chennai sometimes for things to do with the court, but hasn’t been seen in India from April to May 2026.
Inside the divorce case, as described in filings
According to reports, Sangeetha has asked for a divorce in the Family Court in Chengalpattu. She says Vijay was unfaithful and caused her mental pain, and that she found out about another woman in April 2021. She doesn’t mention anyone by name in the divorce papers. People on social media think Trisha Krishnan is the other woman, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
The divorce request details emotional distance, Vijay not fulfilling his duties in the marriage and basically abandoning her, and says they tried to fix things between 2021 and 2025, but it didn’t work, and after 23 years of marriage they decided to split up. There are also reports of the divorce continuing and a notice Vijay received earlier in 2026 telling him to appear in court. Neither Vijay nor Sangeetha have said anything to the public.
Here is what is confirmed and what is not:
– Divorce petition filed at Chengalpattu Family court, as per reports
– Grounds cited include infidelity and mental cruelty
– Trisha-Vijay relationship remains unconfirmed by both
– Alleged clash between Sangeetha and Trisha has no documented evidence
The Trisha Krishnan angle
Rumors about Vijay and Trisha have come and gone over the years, but recently they’ve become much louder. Their movie Leo brought back fan theories, and Sangeetha being absent from the movie’s first showing added to this. Trisha being at Vijay’s home when the election results were celebrated made the rumors even stronger.
But both stars are staying completely quiet. Neither Vijay nor Trisha have said they have any sort of relationship beyond working together. The idea that Sangeetha and Trisha had a fight is just gossip; there’s no official proof or documents to show this is true.
Why fans care
Vijay is in a rare position of being famous for both movies and politics. He’s currently winning the election and is expected to become the leader of the state, so all details of his personal life seem important. His supporters want to know the facts as much as they want to know the election results.
Who is Sangeetha beyond the headlines
Sangeetha was born and grew up in the UK to a Sri Lankan Tamil family who owned a business and has always avoided being in the public eye. She first met Vijay in t 1996 after his movie Poove Unakkaga was a success. What started as a meeting with a fan turned into a relationship.
They married in 1999 with a wedding in Chennai and Hindu and Christian traditions. Vijay and Sangeetha have been married for 27 years and have two children: Jason Sanjay, 25, and Divya Saasha, 20. They’ve always been very careful to keep their family life private.
What comes next
Vijay almost never talks about his personal life to the public, and there aren’t many confirmed reports about it. Reports say the legal side of the divorce is happening, and people online continue to speculate as Vijay’s political party gains popularity.
Right now, the most important news will come from the court and from any official statements from the people involved. Until then, the only sensible way to follow this story is to tell what is actually known from what is just rumour.
