Kollywood superstar, Vijay Thalapathy is currently grabbing the spotlight due to his newly formed party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), having emerged victorious in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly Election. Vijay himself contested and won from two seats, Perambur (defeating DMK’s RD Shekar) and Tiruchirappalli East. On May 10, 2026, at 10 a.m. IST, the 51-year-old actor-turned-politician was officially sworn in as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai.
Vijay’s election win marked the first time since 1967 that a non-Dravidian party emerged as the single largest force in the state. He historically shifted the state’s political colour with his influence and charm. Recent reports suggest that actress, Trisha Krishnan attended his oath-taking ceremony amid rumours of an affair between them. It has once again brought the spotlight on Vijay Thalapathy’s estranged wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam and their children. Fans are curious about where they are amid Vijay Thalapathy’s big moment.
Where are Vijay Thalapathy’s children amid his swearing-in ceremony?
Vijay Thalapathy‘s family, friends, and fans are currently bursting with joy as the Jana Nayagan star has finally acquired his role as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. However, amid the celebrations, his family’s silence has sparked significant buzz. Neither his estranged wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, nor their children, son, Jason Sanjay and daughter, Divya Saasha, shared any public statement or congratulatory messages for him. They stayed completely out of the spotlight amid Vijay’s major milestone, fuelling ongoing speculation about a family rift.
Regarding the reason for the absence of Vijay and Sangeetha’s firstborn, Jason from his oath-taking ceremony, he is most likely in Canada now. According to reports from early 2026, Jason went abroad to pursue film studies. Notably, a report of his unfollowing his father on Instagram also surfaced around the time Sangeetha filed for a divorce against Vijay. It led to speculation that Jason was siding with his mother amid her high-profile separation. Vijay’s estranged wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, is reportedly based in London, and she holds British citizenship. She manages her family’s business interests there.
The last reports on Sangeetha, released a couple of months ago, stated that she was in London, and as of May 2026, she is most likely still there. While Sangeetha resides primarily in the UK, she occasionally travels to Chennai to attend the ongoing divorce proceedings. As for her daughter, Divya, little is known about her current whereabouts. However, some reports and online chatter suggest that she is also living abroad with her mother.

Sangeetha and Vijay reportedly started dating in 1996. The couple tied the knot in 1999. Vijay and Sangeetha initially registered their marriage in the UK in 1998. They later celebrated with grand ceremonies in Chennai on August 25, 1999, which included both Hindu and Christian rituals. Vijay and Sangeetha welcomed their first child, a son, Jason Sanjay, on August 26, 2000, in London. He is 25 years old as of May 2026. The couple’s second child, a daughter, Divya Saasha, was born in Chennai. Her birth date is September 9, 2005, which makes her 20 years old as of May 2026.
Now Sangeetha and Vijay are undergoing a highly publicised period of separation. She reportedly filed for divorce at the Chengalpattu Family Court, citing infidelity and mental cruelty as the primary reasons. She claimed she discovered in April 2021 that the Tamil actor and politician was involved in an adulterous relationship with an actress. While the petition does not name the actress to protect privacy, social media speculation has frequently linked him to his Leo co-star, Trisha Krishnan, though these claims remain unverified.
