Vijay-Trisha ‘Soft Launch' At Wedding: Is TVK Leader Paying Huge Alimony to Sangeetha To Avoid a Public Trial?

Tamil superstar Vijay has once again found himself at the centre of intense public discussion after he was seen attending the high-profile wedding reception of the son of AGS Entertainment producer Kalpathi S. Suresh alongside actress Trisha Krishnan. The event marked their first public appearance together since reports emerged that Vijay's wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, had filed for divorce.

The appearance, which took place in Chennai, quickly went viral across social media, with fans and industry observers closely analysing the timing of the two stars attending the event together. The development comes even as reports about the couple's divorce proceedings and possible out-of-court settlement discussions continue to circulate.

The Divorce Petition That Started the Storm

According to reports, Sangeetha approached the Chengalpattu Family Court in late February seeking to end her 27-year marriage with the actor. The petition reportedly outlines several grievances and describes the relationship as having broken down over the past few years.

Among the key allegations mentioned in reports is the claim that Sangeetha discovered Vijay had developed a close relationship with an actress around 2021. The filing reportedly states that despite assurances that the association would end, Vijay continued travelling abroad and attending events with the actress - something she described as humiliating for her and their children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha.

One detail that has drawn attention in media discussions is the claim that Sangeetha had, at one stage, hired a private detective after becoming suspicious about changes in Vijay's behaviour.

The 'Soft Launch': Vijay-Trisha First Appearance at AGS Reception

Against this backdrop, Vijay and Trisha were seen attending the wedding reception of the son of Kalpathi S. Suresh, co-founder of AGS Entertainment. The event became a major talking point because it marked their first public appearance together since news of the divorce petition surfaced.

Eyewitnesses noted that the two arrived together and appeared in coordinated traditional outfits - Vijay in an off-white silk shirt with a veshti and Trisha in a golden-beige saree paired with an emerald necklace. Their appearance together at such a prominent industry event quickly went viral on social media.

Because the divorce petition reportedly does not name the actress involved, speculation online has inevitably centred on Trisha, who has been Vijay's frequent co-star and long-time friend.

Industry Ties and the Timing

The Kalpathi family shares a long professional association with Vijay. Their production house AGS Entertainment backed some of his biggest films, including Bigil and The Greatest of All Time.

Because of these long-standing ties, the reception provided a comfortable industry setting for Vijay's appearance. However, the timing of the event - coming just days after the divorce reports surfaced - has led fans and observers to closely analyse the optics of the two stars attending together.

Settlement Buzz Adds Another Layer

As the legal proceedings move forward, reports have also suggested that Vijay may be considering a large out-of-court financial settlement to resolve the divorce matter amicably.

While neither side has confirmed the details, several media outlets have speculated that the proposed alimony could run into hundreds of crores. The reported move is believed to be aimed at avoiding a prolonged public court battle as the case proceeds in the Chengalpattu Family Court.According to reports circulating in entertainment and legal circles, Vijay is exploring a massive out-of-court settlement believed to be around ₹250 crore to resolve the divorce proceedings amicably.

While the figure has not been officially confirmed, the reported proposal is said to be aimed at ensuring financial security for Sangeetha and the couple's children - Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha - while avoiding a prolonged and public legal battle.

The next hearing in the case is reportedly expected in April 2026 at the Chengalpattu Family Court.

Political Timing Raises the Stakes

The developments come at a particularly sensitive time for Vijay. The actor recently stepped fully into politics through his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, and his public image is under increasing scrutiny as he prepares for a larger political role.

At the same time, his upcoming film Jana Nayagan is reportedly navigating censorship hurdles, adding to what has already become a turbulent phase for the star.

For now, Vijay and Sangeetha have maintained silence on the legal proceedings, even after Vijay's first public appearance with Trisha.
