Wife Charges Actor-Politician Vijay Of Adultery, Files For Divorce

CHENNAI-Sangeetha Vijay, the wife of well-known actor and politician Vijay, has filed a petition seeking divorce in the Chengalpattu district court, citing Vijay’s “adulterous relationship” with an actress as the reason.

The Chengalpattu family court has now issued a notice to actor Vijay, directing him to appear in person on April 20.

Sangeetha, in her petition, stated that she is a citizen of the UK. She informed the court that their wedding was first registered in the United Kingdom in1998. Thereafter, a ceremonial wedding was performed according to Hindu rites in1999 at Rajah Muthiah Mandram in Chennai.

Stating that the marital relationship was cordial and harmonious in the initial years, Sangeetha said that it was in April 2021 that she discovered that Vijay was involved in an adulterous relationship with an actress.

Pointing out that this caused her deep emotional pain and mental suffering, amounting to betrayal and violation of marital trust, Sangeetha claimed that Vijay initially assured her that he would end the relationship. However, she alleged that he continued the adulterous association without remorse.

She further alleged that in 2024, Vijay’s continued adulterous conduct and repeated social media controversies caused her constant mental torture.

Stating that the marital bond had effectively ceased to exist and survived only on paper, Sangeetha claimed that their marriage had broken down irretrievably and was incapable of revival, and therefore sought its dissolution.

She also asked that she be granted the right of residence to stay at her matrimonial home in Neelankarai until the disposal of her petition or until an equivalent alternative accommodation was provided to her by Vijay. Sangeetha also sought that the court direct Vijay to pay fair and reasonable permanent alimony to her and to bear the costs of the proceedings. (IANS)
