Actress Trisha Krishnan's last birthday wish for Thalapathy Vijay resurfaces after TVK chief's wife files for divorce

Supporters of Thalapathy Vijay were taken aback on Friday after reports surfaced that his spouse, Sangeetha Sornalingam, had initiated legal proceedings to end their marriage, alleging that the star had engaged in an extramarital association with a fellow performer. Although the petition did not identify the woman in question, online communities quickly began drawing their own conclusions, with many wondering whether the reference pointed toward Trisha Krishnan, Vijay’s longtime co-star.

For years, Vijay and Trisha have been celebrated as one of the most adored screen pairings in Tamil cinema. Their dynamic presence and effortless rapport in blockbusters such as Ghilli (2004), Thirupaachi (2005), Aathi (2006), and Kuruvi (2008) earned them a devoted fan base. Audiences were captivated by their lively interactions and convincing portrayals, which translated into tremendous box-office success. However, after Kuruvi, the two actors abruptly stopped sharing screen space, prompting whispers that their camaraderie during the making of Ghilli may have evolved into something beyond friendship. Speculation intensified with claims circulating that Vijay’s family had supposedly encouraged him to maintain distance from Trisha following their last collaboration. Despite persistent rumours, both actors consistently dismissed any suggestion of romance, maintaining that their relationship was purely platonic.

Conversation around them resurfaced last year when Trisha shared a birthday greeting for Vijay that drew widespread attention. She posted a photograph featuring the two of them accompanied by a puppy and offered a warm message that many interpreted as unusually affectionate. The post reignited chatter across social media platforms, with observers dissecting every detail.


More than a decade after their last film together, the pair reunited for Leo (2023), sparking excitement among admirers who had long hoped to see them collaborate again. Their comeback project reignited nostalgia and reaffirmed the popularity of their pairing.

Vijay and Sangeetha were married in 1999 and share two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha, marking over two decades of family life prior to the current developments.
