Towards the end of February, actor Vijay’s wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, filed for divorce, mentioning in her petition that the actor was allegedly involved in an extramarital relationship with an actress. The development came as a huge surprise to fans as well as the Tamil film industry.
Meanwhile, there has been considerable buzz about a possible settlement of around Rs. 250 crore. The amount is reportedly meant for Sangeetha and their two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha. However, details regarding how the settlement will be distributed have not been made public so far.
People familiar with the matter say the discussions are being handled discreetly in order to protect the dignity and privacy of the family. Vijay is also believed to be maintaining his usual stance of keeping his personal life away from the spotlight and has not issued any public statement regarding the divorce or the allegations mentioned in the petition.
As the legal process continues, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming days.
