Thalapathy Vijay, a raging superstar and Sangeetha was an ardent fan; yes, you read that right. Sangeetha was a fan of Vijay before they fell in love and got married.

Thalapahthy Vijay enjoys a massive female fan following, but his eyes stuck only on Sangeetha. And that's how Srilankan Tamilian girl Sangeetha Sornalingam married and fell in love with Vijay.

When Sangeetha first met Vijay, he was not a superstar. Instead, he was trying to make his mark in the South Industry.

In 1996, Vijay's film Poove Unakkaga was a hit. It was critically acclaimed and loved by the fans. Post which, Vijay was shooting for his then film at Film City, where Sangeetha came to congratulate him on the success of his previous movie.

The girl was a daughter of a Tamil industrialist from Sri Lanka who was settled in the UK. Sangeetha was impressed by Vijay's performance.

Hence she decided to visit Vijay personally to let him know the same. The sweet gesture of Sangeetha touched his heart. Then, Vijay asked her if she would like to visit his house and meet his parents for a chat, and she agreed.

Vijay and Sangeetha's next meeting was at his house. Even his parents were impressed by her simplicity. So Vijay asked her out yet again while she was staying in Chennai for some more days. So Vijay invited her yet again to his place. At that time, Vijay's parents knew she was the one for him.

Vijay's dad asked her if she would like to marry Vijay. Sangeetha gladly agreed, and everyone was happy with the decision. So Vijay and Sangeetha tied in the knot in 1999. The couple decided to tie the knot as per Hindu rituals as Sangeetha is a Hindu and Vijay a Christian. The wedding was a star-studded affair and was attended by the South Indian Film stars. Since then, they have been having a successful married life and have a son named Sanjay.
