Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has withdrawn her divorce petition, which was filed in February this year at the Chengalpattu Family Court. The court has disposed of the case, bringing an end to the legal proceedings. Sangeetha appeared before the court through video conference and informed Judge Sujatha that she was withdrawing the petition. The judge questioned Sangeetha for around 15 minutes before accepting the withdrawal and closing the divorce proceedings. The divorce petition was filed under the Special Marriage Act, 1954, seeking dissolution of their marriage. In the plea, Sangeetha had claimed that Vijay was involved in an extramarital affair with a female co-star, which caused her "deep emotional pain and mental suffering, amounting to betrayal and violation of marital trust." The petition also alleged adultery, mental cruelty, neglect, and desertion, stating that the marriage had "irretrievably broken down." According to livemint.com, Sangeetha's petition maintained that this caused her “deep emotional pain and mental suffering, amounting to betrayal and violation of marital trust.” Vijay and Sangeetha tied the knot in August 1999 and have two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha.

Trisha was spotted at Vijay's house on her birthday, and she shared a picture with Vijay on his birthday, captioning it: "To the person who makes it all worth it, HBD (sic)." The court processes began on February 26 and were eventually postponed till April 20, just three days before the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. During the election campaign, the case received political and legal attention. The withdrawal also comes amid a lawsuit before the Madras High Court requesting an investigation into Vijay's election affidavit, in which he disclosed a loan of Rs 12.60 crore to Sangeetha.
