Thalapathy Vijay Divorce
Thalapathy Vijay’s son, filmmaker Jason Sanjay, has reportedly unfollowed his father on Instagram amid his mother Sangeetha Sornalingam’s divorce petition filed last week at Chennai’s Chengalpattu family court. Social media users noted Jason follows 36-38 accounts (e.g., Vijay Sethupathi, Anurag Kashyap, Farhan Akhtar) but not Vijay, fueling speculation of family rift. Some claim he never followed; no confirmation from Jason.
Divorce Petition Details
Sangeetha, Vijay’s wife since 1999 (UK registry 1998, Hindu ceremony Chennai), alleges adultery discovered in April 2021 with an unnamed actress. Petition claims Vijay “continued open association,” posting outings publicly, causing “deep emotional pain,” “mental suffering,” “betrayal,” and “constructive desertion”. She lived separately in their home; court notice to Vijay for April 20 appearance. No official statements from Vijay or Sangeetha.
Family Background
Vijay (51), Tamil superstar/politician (Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam chief), married Sangeetha (Sri Lankan-British, Tamil Nadu industrialist daughter) in 1999. Children: Jason Sanjay (25, director; Pull the Trigger, Vettaikaran associate) and Divya Shaasha (actress in Theri). Jason’s alleged unfollow seen by some as maternal support amid infidelity claims.
Public Reaction
Fans divided: some support Sangeetha citing “embarrassment to children”; others question unfollow timing. Vijay follows zero on Instagram. Petition viral; no response from family.
