Tamil Nadu CM Vijay and Wife Sangeetha's Divorce Case Adjourned to August 7PreviousNext

The divorce case between Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam, married since 1998-99 with two children, remains pending in the Chengalpattu Family Court. Sangeetha filed for divorce citing infidelity, mental cruelty, and financial restrictions, alleging Vijay maintained a relationship with an unnamed actress. The court adjourned the latest hearing to August 7, 2026, after neither party appeared in person. Speculation about possible reconciliation persists, though no official statements have been made.
