Vijay’s Wife Files for Divorce as Social Media Links Trisha Krishnan

Tamil cinema star Vijay was in the spotlight this week after reports surfaced about his long marriage heading for a legal split. His wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, reportedly filed a divorce petition in a Chengalpattu family court, ending nearly 27 years of marriage and saying they had been living separately for the past two years. Legal filings allegedly accused Vijay of infidelity and desertion, though the documents did not name any third person directly.

As soon as the news broke, online discussions grew intense. A widely shared story was how social media users began linking the situation to actress Trisha Krishnan, who has co-starred with Vijay in several hit films, including Ghilli and Leo. A recent Instagram post from her where she had once wished Vijay a happy birthday resurfaced and fueled speculation, although there was no official confirmation that she was the unnamed person in the divorce papers.

Amid the chatter, fans dug up old clips from promotions where Trisha talked about her bond with Vijay, and a moment from the success meet of Leo went viral, with many online users interpreting it through the lens of the divorce buzz. Neither Vijay nor Trisha publicly addressed the rumours, and Trisha kept a low profile on social media following the speculation.

Meanwhile, supporters and critics alike continued to debate the situation online, with a mix of reaction ranging from criticism to calls for privacy. Some said the full context of the divorce — including personal reasons and emotional dynamics — had been oversimplified on social platforms, while others focused on the professional history shared by the two stars.

At this stage the case was set for a first hearing in April, and legal observers noted that until formal statements or court records were published, much of what was circulating remained unverified.
