Chennai: A major development has emerged in the divorce case involving Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam. According to reports, Sangeetha has withdrawn the divorce petition filed before the family court, bringing an end to the legal proceedings for now.

The matter had attracted significant public attention due to Vijay's stature as a popular actor-turned-politician and his rise as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. The divorce petition had become one of the most discussed personal matters surrounding the leader.

Divorce Petition Withdrawn In Court

Sangeetha's decision to withdraw the petition marks a sudden shift in the case. The withdrawal application was submitted before the court, following which the legal proceedings related to the divorce petition came to an end.

The development comes after the case remained under public scrutiny for several months. However, no detailed reason has been officially disclosed regarding the withdrawal of the petition.

Vijay And Sangeetha's Long Marriage

C Joseph Vijay and Sangeetha Sornalingam got married in 1999. The couple has two children and has largely maintained privacy regarding their personal life despite Vijay's massive popularity in the entertainment industry and later in politics.

Before entering politics, Vijay was among Tamil cinema's biggest stars. He later launched his political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), and became a major political figure in Tamil Nadu.

Personal Issue Amid Political Rise

The divorce case had drawn attention at a time when Vijay was expanding his political presence in Tamil Nadu. His transition from cinema to politics has made every major development related to him a matter of public interest.

With the withdrawal of the divorce petition, the latest development has brought a new chapter in Vijay and Sangeetha's personal matter. Further details regarding the reasons behind the withdrawal are awaited.
