A copy of the divorce petition has been circulating on the internet. It has been filed under Section (1)(a), (b), (d) and Sections 36 & 37 of the Special Marriage Act 1954. These sections cover reasons such as adultery, cruelty and desertion, which are valid grounds to seek divorce.

"The Respondent (Vijay) was involved in an adulterous relationship with an actress. This caused her deep emotional pain and mental suffering, amounting to betrayal and violation of marital trust."
Sangeetha, in her divorce plea, has also requested the right of residence at her matrimonial house and permanent alimony from Vijay Thalapathy. It is worth mentioning that Sangeetha is a social worker and an entrepreneur. Also, Sangeetha seems to be in no mood for reconciliation or talks as she wants the marriage to be dissolved. Vijay has not yet responded to the plea or to the matter.
For the unversed, Vijay and Sangeetha's relationship was no less than a film's tale. Initially, Sangeetha was Vijay's fan, and she left her home in the UK to meet her idol in Chennai in the late 1990s. The meeting changed everything for Vijay and Sangeetha. The relaitonship which was of a fan a star, turned into something significant. Despite religious differences, the two got married as per the Special Marriage Act.
For the unversed, Vijay was born into a Christian family, and Sangeetha was raised as a Hindu, but their love won over all odds. The couple has been married for 27 years and is blessed with two children, Jason Sanjay, who is 25 years old, and Divya Saasha, who is 20 years old.
During the start of their relationship, Sangeetha would often accompany Vijay at his promotional events and award functions. But with time, she stopped it altogether and started keeping a low profile. She also remained absent from Vijay's political rallies to float TVK.
