It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Thalapathy Vijay is one of the biggest superstars of Indian cinema. Known for movies like Leo, Bigil and others, the actor has impressed movie lovers with his stellar acting skills and stunning looks.
Despite being a public figure for so many years, Thalapathy has always tried to keep his personal life private. The Mersal actor has been married to Sangeetha Sornalingam for over two decades.
The couple has two children – son Jason Sanjay and daughter Divya Sasha.
But do you know how Vijay and Sangeeta met and what led to their marriage? In this article, we will look at the timeline of the couple’s relationship, starting from their first meeting to their marriage.
Thalapathy Vijay and Sangeetha first meeting
Thalapathy Vijay’s first blockbuster film, Poove Unakkaga not only brought him immense fame and recognition but also became the reason for his meeting with his life partner. Yes, it is true that Sangeetha was originally a big fan of her future husband.
When Thalapathy Vijay was shooting for a film in Film City, Chennai, he met a beautiful young girl who had come from London to meet the actor. It is difficult to guess, but yes, it was Sangeetha.
She wanted to congratulate Vijay for the success of his last film. Let us tell you that Sangeetha Sornalingam is the daughter of a Tamil industrialist from Sri Lanka who settled in Britain.
The two happily met each other and chatted for a while. Impressed by Sangeeta’s lovely behaviour, Vijay invited her to his home and introduced her to his parents. And this is how the actor developed feelings for his girlfriend.
Sangeetha lived nearby, so Vijay once again invited her to his home and this time, the Varisu actor’s parents took the initiative and asked her if she would consider marrying Vijay. The lovely couple accepted the proposal and the rest is history.
Thalapathy Vijay and Sangeetha’s wedding
According to Bollywoodshaadi.com, after Sangeetha and Vijay confirmed their marriage, Vijay’s parents Chandrasekhar and Shobha went to London to meet Sangeetha’s parents. Both the families met each other and Sangeetha’s parents also accepted Vijay as their son-in-law.
Eventually, this star couple took the wedding vows in a star-studded ceremony on August 25, 1999. Despite being from different religions, Vijay is a Christian, and Sangeetha is a Hindu, the couple decided to go for a Hindu wedding ceremony, followed by a reception in Chennai. Vijay and Sangeetha’s dreamy wedding is still considered as one of the most memorable weddings of Indian cinema.
After their marriage, Thalapathy Vijay and Sangeetha decided to become parents for the first time in 2000 and welcomed their second child in 2005. Both the kids have appeared on screen with their father in movies like Vettaikaran and Theri respectively.
Thalapathy Vijay and Sangeetha divorce rumours
However, there came a time in the lives of both Vijay and Sangeetha when there were speculations of their divorce. In 2023, the internet was taken by a storm when Sangeetha did not appear at the audio launch of Varisu and Priya Atlee’s baby shower.
At the time, Pinkvilla had quickly debunked these claims and found that the reports were mere rumours.
