Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘You can’t separate me from public’ is indirect dig at wife? Netizens says, ‘You cheated..’

Vijay, who now leads the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, continues to stay active on the political front even as his personal life remains under intense public scrutiny. With the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections approaching, the actor turned politician has been busy addressing rallies and connecting with voters across the state. This comes amid ongoing discussions around his reported separation from Sangeetha Sornalingam, a topic that has dominated headlines and social media conversations in recent weeks.

During a recent public gathering, Vijay chose to address the controversy for the first time, though without directly naming anyone. Speaking to a large crowd, he suggested that the timing of the personal developments being discussed publicly was not coincidental. 'The people around me waited for many years & tried to defame me 30 days before the elections, he said, indicating that he believes certain narratives are being pushed deliberately in the lead up to the polls. His statement quickly drew attention, with many interpreting it as a response to the ongoing speculation surrounding his marriage.

He further added, 'That didn't work too. No matter how many trials and pains you put me through, you can’t separate me from the people,' reinforcing his focus on his political journey and his connection with supporters. While his remarks were aimed at projecting resilience, they also sparked a wave of reactions online, where the conversation soon took a sharp turn.

Several users criticised the actor politician, questioning his statements and linking them to his personal life. One user wrote, ''And in the meantime you cheated your wife for many years .. 😂😂 does he have anything to say on that!! People who vote for him are as shameless as anyone who support illegal relationships!!'' Another commented, ''But you separated from your wife.what is the guarantee you will not separate from the people,'' reflecting the scepticism among some sections of social media.

The discourse also extended to long standing rumours about his alleged equation with Trisha Krishnan. Reacting to his speech, a user remarked, 'No matter how many trials and pains you put me through, you can’t separate me from Trisha. Now it all make sense...' while another added, 'The divorce issue is true, right? Then why are saying others are trying to defame your name, if something is not true then you can say that to the people but this is true news, so again and again you are trying to exploit the people.'

Despite the criticism, Vijay also received strong backing from his supporters, many of whom dismissed the controversy as a political tactic. 'Thalapathy Vijay 🔥🔥📈 At election time these are normal to defame others Some fool People will believe those things,' one fan wrote. Another commented, 'Cheap politics vs Classy Vijay. Results will speak for themselves! 😎.'

As the election season intensifies, Vijay finds himself navigating both political pressure and personal scrutiny at the same time. While criticism and speculation continue to follow him, his focus appears firmly set on his campaign and his connect with the public. Whether these controversies will impact his political journey remains to be seen, but for now, Vijay seems determined to stay on course and let the outcome of the elections shape the narrative ahead.

Claims about Thalapathy Vijay and his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam being divorced continue to circulate, with some reports asserting it has been confirmed indirectly by industry sources. However, no formal statement has been released by either of them. Allegations include personal differences and time apart due to professional commitments, but these remain unverified publicly. Without direct confirmation from the couple, such reports should be treated cautiously, and their privacy should be respected while awaiting clear, official information.
