As actor-turned-politician Vijay gears up for his first electoral fight as Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) chief ministerial candidate, his wife Sangeetha Vijay has approached Chengalpattu District Court for an interim order to retain residence in their Neelankarai home along Chennai's ECR.
Sangeetha, 48, filed for divorce earlier this month under Sections 27(1)(a), (b), and (d) of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, alleging an extramarital affair. Her February 22 affidavit in the ongoing original petition seeks marriage dissolution, permanent alimony, and the right to stay at No. 36, Casuarina Drive, Sri Kapaleeshwar Nagar, Neelankarai—until case disposal or equivalent housing is provided.
Married for 26 years, Sangeetha describes herself as a devoted homemaker who managed their household, raised children Jason Sanjay (25) and Divya Saasha (20), and matched Vijay's lifestyle.
A UK citizen with a London biomedical science degree, she claims no comparable alternate residence. Despite attempts at amicable settlement, Vijay's side reportedly warned against her staying post-filing, prompting this urgency.
The application invokes Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, for permission to reside with full amenities until resolution. The home doubles as a hub for Vijay's political activities, amplifying scrutiny as TVK eyes its electoral debut.
