Thalapathy Vijay is a popular Tamil actor who has entertained audiences for over three decades. He is one of the most commercially successful South Indian actors who is admired by many. Despite the attention, the Leo actor has always kept his personal life away from the spotlight. At the same time, his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has stayed away from showbiz, but the little glimpses of their bond and her journey from being a die-hard fan to Vijay's life partner, has been nothing short of extraordinary. If you are curious about her, here's everything you must know about Sangeetha Sornalingam.
Sangeetha Sornalingam is known to have a grounded personality and has stood by her husband like a rock through thick and thin. Not much is known about her education since she has stayed away from the media. Some media reports mention that she is a homemaker while other speculate she is an industrialist. According to Stars Unfolded, Sangeetha hails from a Sri Lankan Tamil family and was raised by her parents who shifted to london when she was a kid.
In 1996, Vijay, who was then in the initial phase of his career, delivered a successful film, Poove Unakkaga. His performance impressed Sangeetha and she immediately became his die-hard fan. After some time, Sangeetha traveled to Chennai to meet the actor shooting his next film in the city. Sangeetha visited him on the set of his film and praised him. Consequently, the Jana Nayagan actor was touched by her gesture and innocence.
Sangeetha stayed in Chennai for some time during her visit and her home was close to the Master actor. So, he invited her to his home. During the meeting, she met his parents, S.A. Chandrasekhar and Shobha, who took a liking to her. They soon met for a second time, and the actor's parents realised he had feelings for her and found her ideal as their daughter-in-law. Consequently, Vijay's father asked them about marriage, and they agreed. Soon, they went to seek consent from her parents, leading to their wedding on August 25, 1999, in a grand ceremony. She is Christian but got married with Hindu traditions.
Sangeetha and Vijay's family grew after marriage, and the couple became parents to a son, Jason Sanjay, in 2000. They also welcomed a daughter, Divya Saasha, in 2005. Sangeetha has been a hands-on mother and both her kids made a brief appearance in their father's films, like Jason, who was seen in Vettaikaaran, while Divya appeared in Theri. In 2019, the Sangeetha was awarded the 'Unheralded Commander' award by Galatta Media.
Sangeetha and Vijay have been married for over two decades, and she has been a pillar of strength in her husband's life. Despite avoiding media attention, she is often spotted with him or represents him on different occasions. However, in 2023, rumors about their divorce made rounds on the internet as she was absent from filmmaker, Atlee's wife's baby shower and the trailer launch of Vijay's film, Varisu. However, a source close to Pinkvilla soon dismissed the news, and later, Sangeetha attended Aishwarya Shankar's wedding reception on Vijay's behalf, reaffirming that all was well between them. Now, as Thalapathy Vijay will be making his way into the world of politics, it will be interesting to see how Sangeetha supports her husband in his new endeavor.
