The family has received public attention due to divorce allegations involving Vijay and his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam. According to ANI, Sangeetha has filed a divorce suit with the Chengalpattu Family Court. The suit apparently alleges that Vijay had a "extramarital relationship with an actress." However, neither Vijay nor Sangeetha has made an official public comment to verify or refute the charges.
Sangeetha, of Sri Lankan Tamil descent and raised in the United Kingdom, married Vijay in 1999. She was a British citizen before marriage, with family ties in Sri Lanka, where her father was an industrialist who eventually moved to the United Kingdom.
