It is not wrong to say that Thalapathy Vijay is one of the biggest superstars of Indian cinema. Known for films like Leo, Bigil, and others, the actor has impressed moviegoers with his exceptional performances and dashing looks.

Despite being a public figure for so many years now, Thalapathy has always tried to keep his personal life private. The Mersal actor has been married to Sangeetha Sornalingam for more than two decades.

The couple has two children- a son, Jason Sanjay, and a daughter named Divya Saasha.

But are you aware of how Vijay and Sangeetha met and what led to their marriage? In this article, we will look into the timeline of the couple's relationship, beginning with their first meeting and ending with their marriage.

Thalapathy Vijay and Sangeetha’s first meet

Thalapathy Vijay's first blockbuster film, Poove Unakkaga not only brought him immense fame and recognition but was also the reason behind his meeting with his soulmate. Yes, that’s right, Sangeetha was basically a die-heart fan of her then future-husband.

When Thalapathy Vijay was shooting for a movie at Film City in Chennai, he met a beautiful young girl, who had come to visit the actor from London. No points for guessing but yes that was Sangeetha.

She wanted to congratulate Vijay for the success of his last film. For the unversed, Sangeetha Sornalingam is the daughter of a Tamil industrialist from Sri Lanka, who was settled in the UK.

The couple met each other pleasantly and talked for a while. Impressed by this sweet gesture of Sangeetha, Vijay then invited her to his house and made her meet his parents. And that’s how the actor developed feelings for his lady love.

As Sangeeta was living nearby, Vijay once again invited her to his house and this time, the Varisu actor’s parents took the initiative and asked her if she would consider marrying Vijay. The adorable couple accepted the proposal and the rest is what we call history.
