Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor Vijay has received a significant personal relief after his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, officially withdrew the divorce petition she had filed earlier this year. The development brings an end to months of speculation surrounding the couple's relationship, with the Chengalpattu Family Court disposing of the case following Sangeetha's decision.
According to reports, Sangeetha Sornalingam appeared before the court through video conference and informed the presiding judge that she wished to withdraw the petition. Following her statement, the court accepted the request and formally disposed of the case, effectively closing the legal proceedings.
The divorce petition had attracted widespread media attention when it was filed, as it reportedly contained allegations of infidelity, emotional withdrawal, and mental distress. The filing also referred to Vijay's reported appearances abroad with an unnamed actress, which allegedly contributed to tensions in the marriage. However, neither Vijay nor Sangeetha had publicly commented on the allegations during the legal process.
The withdrawal of the petition has sparked fresh speculation that the couple may have resolved their differences privately. As of now, there has been no official statement from Vijay, Sangeetha, or their representatives regarding the reasons behind the decision to withdraw the case.
Vijay and Sangeetha have been married for several years and are among the most well-known couples in the Tamil film industry. Sangeetha has largely stayed away from the public spotlight despite Vijay's immense popularity as an actor and, more recently, his transition into politics. Their family life has generally remained private, making news of the divorce petition a major talking point across entertainment and political circles.
The timing of the case also drew attention because it coincided with Vijay's growing responsibilities as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Political observers had noted that the personal legal proceedings unfolded amid his busy administrative schedule, although Vijay continued to focus on governance and public engagements without addressing the matter publicly.
With the court now disposing of the petition, the legal chapter has come to a close. While the withdrawal suggests a change in Sangeetha's legal position, the couple has not disclosed whether they have formally reconciled or simply chosen not to pursue the divorce.
For now, the Chengalpattu Family Court's order ends the proceedings, and the family is expected to maintain its long-standing preference for privacy. Fans and supporters are likely to welcome the development while awaiting any official clarification from the couple in the future.
