New Delhi: Tamil superstar Vijay faces a shocking family twist as his wife Sangeeta Sornalingam files for divorce after 27 years. Fans spot more drama—their son Jason Sanjay seems to have unfollowed dad on social media.
Is this a sign of support for mom amid cheating claims? Social media buzzes with screengrabs and theories.
Vijay – Sangeeta divorce petition details
Sangeeta Sornalingam, listed as Sangeetha in the petition, filed for divorce in the Chengalpattu District Court on Friday. She accused Vijay of infidelity with an unnamed actress, mental cruelty, neglect, and desertion under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. The plea states their marriage has broken down “irretrievably” since Vijay became “emotionally withdrawn” from 2021, treating her with “verbal disdain” and forcing separate living in their home.
Sangeeta claims Vijay had an “open association” with the actress, embarrassing their children, Jason and Divya Saasha, among friends. She exchanged notices from August 2024 to February 2025, hoping for a resolution but got none. The case may be heard on April 10; she seeks in-camera proceedings and media gag orders to avoid “further humiliation.”
Jason’s social media move
Post-divorce news, fans rushed to Jason Sanjay’s Instagram and X profiles. They noticed he follows only 35-36 accounts, including Vijay Sethupathi, but not his father Vijay. Some shared screengrabs claiming Jason unfollowed him recently, with one fan posting: “JASON SANJAY UNFOLLOW HIS FATHER VIJAY.”
Another wrote: “Decent young man, Jason Sanjay, proud Son Of Sangeetha ma’am,” hinting support for mom. News9 could not verify if Jason followed Vijay before the news broke—as of Sunday, he does not on either platform.
Couple’s background and son’s debut
Vijay and Sangeeta, a Rs 400 crore heiress, married in the UK on July 10, 1998, and again in India on August 25, 1999. They have two kids: Jason, Divya Saasha. Jason, soon debuting as director with Sundeep Kishan-starrer Sigma, stays out of the spotlight amid this family rift. Fans speculate his unfollow signals a loyalty divide, fueling online debates.
