Sangeetha Sornalingam has withdrawn her divorce petition against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor C Joseph Vijay in a Chengalpattu family court. The court disposed of the case after Sangeetha appeared through video conference and informed it that she did not wish to pursue the petition.
Sangeetha Sornalingam, wife of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and actor C Joseph Vijay, has withdrawn the divorce petition she had filed against him, bringing the closely watched legal proceedings to an end for now.
The development came on Friday when the matter was taken up before a family court in Chengalpattu. Sangeetha reportedly participated in the proceedings through video conference and informed the court that she no longer wished to pursue the divorce petition.
Following her submission, the court disposed of the petition as withdrawn. The development has attracted considerable attention because Vijay’s personal life has remained under intense public scrutiny alongside his transition from one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars to the state’s Chief Minister.
Sangeetha Withdraws Divorce Petition In Chengalpattu Court
Sangeetha had approached the court earlier in 2026 seeking dissolution of her marriage with Vijay. The proceedings subsequently went through multiple hearings, with the matter eventually being listed again for August 7.
During the hearing on Friday, August 7, 2026, Sangeetha appeared virtually and informed the court of her decision to withdraw the divorce petition. Following her submission, the court reportedly disposed of the petition as withdrawn.
The court subsequently recorded the withdrawal and disposed of the matter. The latest development marks a significant turn in a case that had generated widespread attention across Tamil Nadu’s political, cinema and social media circles.
Sangeetha Withdraws Case But Reasons Remain Private
While the withdrawal of the petition has now been confirmed, neither Sangeetha nor Vijay has publicly explained the circumstances that led to the decision.
Earlier reports surrounding the divorce proceedings referred to allegations made as part of the marital dispute. However, those allegations should not be treated as established facts, and Vijay has not publicly detailed his position on the claims circulating online.
There is also no official confirmation that withdrawing the petition means the couple has reconciled or resumed their marital relationship. For now, the confirmed legal development is limited to Sangeetha deciding not to continue with the divorce petition and the court disposing of the case accordingly.
Vijay Sangeetha Divorce Case Draws Major Attention
Vijay and Sangeetha have been married for more than two decades and have largely kept their family life away from the public spotlight. Interest in the proceedings intensified after Vijay entered full-time politics and subsequently became Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. His political rise, combined with his enormous cinema following, meant that developments involving his family quickly became a major topic across television channels and social media.
The withdrawal of the petition has therefore triggered renewed discussion among Vijay’s supporters and entertainment audiences. However, speculation that the couple is preparing for a reunion remains unconfirmed unless either Vijay or Sangeetha chooses to address their relationship publicly.
Sangeetha Withdrawal Brings Proceedings To A Close
With the petition withdrawn, the current divorce proceedings before the Chengalpattu family court have come to an end. The development removes, at least for now, one of the most closely followed personal issues surrounding the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.
Vijay and Sangeetha have not released an official joint statement regarding the withdrawal or their future plans. Any claims about reconciliation should therefore be viewed as speculation rather than confirmed information. The court development itself, however, is clear: Sangeetha has withdrawn her divorce petition, and the case has been disposed of.
