Actor-turned-politician Vijay's wife Sangeetha has approached the Chengalpettu Family Court seeking a divorce.
In her plea, Sangeetha has alleged that the actor had been in an adulterous relationship with an actress since April 2021, which has caused her emotional pain and mental suffering, and has betrayed the marital trust. She has stated that though Vijay had initially assured that he would end the adulterous relationship, it continued, subjecting her to prolonged mental cruelty.
She states that though she attempted to resolve the issue amicably, no resolution was reached, and the matter was deferred, considering the children's studies and emotional well-being.
She sought dissolution of the marriage under Section 27(1)(a),(b),(d) of the Special Marriage Act. She has also sought a right of residence at the matrimonial home and permanent alimony commensurate with Vijay's income and social standing.
Noting the sensitivity of the issue and the publicity of the parties involved, she has also sought in-camera proceedings to protect their privacy. She has also sought an interim injunction to restrain media houses from hosting, interviewing, or publishing any material related to the proceedings.
