The personal life of Tamil superstar and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) founder Thalapathy Vijay has come under intense scrutiny following reports of a rift within his family. On March 1, 2026, social media erupted with claims that his son, aspiring filmmaker Jason Sanjay, has unfollowed his father on Instagram.
This digital move coincides with growing speculation regarding a divorce between Vijay and his wife of 26 years, Sangeetha Sornalingam.
The Divorce Allegations
While no official statement has been released by the couple, several reports have highlighted the following:
- The Petition: Sangeetha has reportedly filed a divorce petition in the Chengalpattu Family Court.
- The Grounds: The filing allegedly cites “infidelity” and claims the actor was involved in an extramarital relationship with a prominent actress.
- Jason Sanjay’s Reaction: Fans noticed that Jason Sanjay—who is currently preparing for his directorial debut with Lyca Productions—is no longer following Vijay’s official handle. While some fans argue he may never have followed the account, others view it as a sign of him siding with his mother.
A Look Back: Vijay and Sangeetha’s Journey
- The Meeting: Sangeetha, a UK-based Sri Lankan Tamil, met Vijay in Chennai in 1996 to congratulate him on the success of Poove Unakkaga.
- The Wedding: The couple married on August 25, 1999, in a traditional Hindu ceremony, respecting Sangeetha’s faith despite Vijay being Christian.
- The Family: They have two children—Jason Sanjay (born 2000) and Divya Shasha (born 2005). Both children have made brief cameos in Vijay’s films like Vettaikaaran and Theri.
Political Timing
The timing of these personal reports is particularly sensitive as Vijay recently transitioned into full-time politics with his party, TVK. He is scheduled to address a major party meet in Vellore today, and supporters are watching closely to see if he addresses the “smear campaigns” or maintains his trademark silence on personal matters.
