Recent developments in the personal life of Vijay, popularly known as Thalapathy Vijay, and his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam have drawn public attention toward their family. As conversations around their reported divorce proceedings unfold, curiosity has also grown about their two children — Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha — who have largely stayed away from media glare.
Here’s a closer look at what they are currently doing.
Jason Sanjay: Stepping Behind the Camera
At 25, Jason Sanjay has chosen filmmaking over acting, carving out his own path in the industry rather than following directly in his father’s footsteps.
He holds a degree in screenwriting from London and a diploma in film production from the Toronto Film School. With formal training in storytelling and technical filmmaking, Jason is now working on his directorial debut titled Sigma.
The action-adventure film stars Sundeep Kishan in the lead and is being produced by Lyca Productions. Reports suggest that nearly 95 percent of the shoot was completed in approximately 65 days, with the project eyeing a summer 2026 release. Industry insiders have noted Jason’s technical discipline and structured approach during production.
Interestingly, Jason had a brief on-screen appearance as a child in Vettaikaaran, featuring alongside his father during the popular song “Naan Adicha.” However, filmmaking appears to be his long-term focus.
Divya Saasha: Academics and Athletics
Unlike her brother, 20-year-old Divya Saasha has maintained a more private life, keeping a clear distance from the entertainment industry.
She studied at the American International School in Chennai and was actively involved in badminton, representing her school in regional competitions. While there have been occasional rumours about her possible interest in the arts, her current priority appears to be higher education. Reports indicate she has travelled abroad to pursue academic goals.
Divya did make a brief appearance in Theri, where she portrayed the older version of Vijay’s on-screen daughter. It remains her only significant film credit.
A Family in the Spotlight
Vijay and Sangeetha reportedly filed their divorce petition at the Chengalpattu Family Court after nearly 27 years of marriage. The couple met in the mid-1990s and tied the knot in 1999, consistently keeping their personal lives out of public discourse.
As legal proceedings attract media attention, Jason Sanjay continues building his identity as a filmmaker, while Divya Saasha focuses on academics and sports. Both appear determined to define their own trajectories, separate from their father’s towering cinematic legacy.
