Trisha Avoids Question On Thalapathy Vijay's Divorce Amid Their Linkup Rumours | Watch

Thalapathy Vijay is currently involved in divorce proceedings with his estranged wife Sankgeetha, who has claimed that the actor-politician's alleged affair with an "actress" is the reason behind their separation. While Vijay and Trisha Krishnan's romantic involvement has been speculated in media reports for the longest time, these rumours appeared to gain legitimacy as Vijay was accused of "infidelity" in his marriage of 27 years.

After their name was linked again, Vijay and Trisha made a joint appearance at a wedding function in Chennai recently. While many said that Vijay was "hard launching" his relationship in the public amid his divorce, others said that there was "nothing to hide" so Vijay and Trisha were unafraid to step out together as "friends".

Vijay's wife, Sankgeetha, filed for divorce in a family court in Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu. The petition is expected to come up for hearing on April 20.

In the filing, Sankgeetha accused the actor of an extramarital relationship with an "actress", believed to be Trisha. She also alleged that Vijay subjected her to "persistent mental cruelty, neglect and desertion". Sankgeetha has submitted in court that if required, she would implead the "actress" as a second respondent in the divorce case. Sankgeetha has sought dissolution of her marriage with Vijay, along with the right of residence at her matrimonial home and permanent alimony from Vijay.
