Vijay, popularly known as Thalapathy Vijay, is currently gearing up for his political debut ahead of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election. Amid buzz around his final film release and his personal life, the actor has been in the headlines after his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam reportedly filed for divorce. In her petition, she alleged that Vijay was involved in an extramarital affair with an actress.

Days after the petition went viral, Vijay made a public appearance with Trisha Krishnan. The two have been rumoured to be dating for a long time. Their joint appearance was viewed by many as a statement about their relationship.
