Vijay's Wife Seeks to Stay in Home Amid Divorce
7 Mar
Summary
- Sangeetha Sornalingam requested to remain in the matrimonial home.
- Divorce plea alleges irretrievable breakdown and emotional pain.
- Couple married in 1999, shares two children.
Sangeetha Sornalingam, wife of Tamil actor-politician Vijay, has made a new request in their ongoing divorce proceedings. She has approached a family court in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, seeking an interim order to allow her to stay in their Neelankarai residence. This request is part of the larger legal battle for dissolution of their marriage, filed earlier this year under the Special Marriage Act.
The divorce petition indicates that the marriage has "irretrievably broken down." Court documents also suggest that an alleged extra-marital relationship caused "deep emotional pain and mental suffering." Sangeetha is seeking to reside in the matrimonial home or be provided alternative accommodation during the legal process, alongside permanent alimony.
The couple, married since 1999, have two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha. Their relationship began in the mid-1990s, with Sangeetha being a Sri Lankan Tamil raised in the UK. Reports suggest they have been living separately prior to the divorce filing. The court is expected to hear the matter in the coming weeks.
