In 1996, Sangeetha flew to India just to congratulate Vijay for his hit film 'Poove Unakkaga'. That's when they first met. Their friendship quickly turned into love. Vijay introduced her to his family, and since Sangeetha is a Hindu, they got married in 1999 following Hindu traditions.

Thalapathy Vijay had praised his wife
At a 2004 event, Vijay publicly praised his wife Sangeetha, who rarely appears in the media. He said, 'My mother and my wife Sangeetha are the reason for my charm and acting skills.' However, since 2021, there have been rumours of Vijay having an affair with an actress. The couple has two children, a son named Desan Sanjay and a daughter named Divya Saasha.
Sangeetha comes from a very wealthy family. The combined value of her father Swarnalingam's business and her own assets is reportedly more than ₹400 crore. It's said that Sangeetha has now moved back to her parents' home and is helping manage her father's business.
