Actor-politician Vijay, popularly known as Thalapathy Vijay, has recently been at the center of intense public discussion following reports that his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, has filed for divorce before the Chengalpattu district court.
As speculation surrounding their relationship continues to dominate headlines and social media conversations, Vijay has chosen not to respond publicly to the developments in his personal life. Instead of addressing the ongoing reports, the actor shifted his focus toward something far removed from controversy — the future of students.
On March 2, Vijay took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to share a heartfelt message aimed at Class 12 students in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry who are currently appearing for their public examinations.
In his note, Vijay extended warm wishes and encouragement, addressing students affectionately as his younger brothers and sisters. He urged them to approach their exams with courage, calmness, and confidence, reminding them not to be overwhelmed by fear or anxiety.
He emphasized the importance of facing this crucial academic milestone with determination and a positive mindset. Vijay also expressed his hope that students would go on to achieve success in higher education and reassured them that their hard work would lead to positive outcomes.
His message coincided with the commencement of the Tamil Nadu Higher Secondary Education (+2) examinations conducted by the Directorate of Government Examinations.
The board exams are scheduled to take place from March 2 to March 26, 2026, with theory papers being conducted daily from 10 AM to 1:15 PM.
According to official guidelines, students must secure a minimum of 35 marks in each subject to pass the examination. The tentative date for the announcement of results has been set for May 8, 2026.
Vijay’s supportive message comes at a time when his personal life has become a topic of widespread attention.
He married Sangeetha in 1999, and the couple share two children — Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha. After nearly three decades of marriage, Sangeetha has reportedly approached the family court seeking dissolution of the marriage.
தமிழ்நாடு மற்றும் புதுச்சேரியில் 12ஆம் வகுப்புப் பொதுத் தேர்வு எழுதும் என் அன்புத் தம்பிகளுக்கும் தங்கைகளுக்கும் வாழ்த்துகள்.

நாளைய வளமான சமுதாயத்தை உருவாக்க உள்ள நீங்கள் அனைவரும் இந்தத் தேர்வினைப் பதற்றமின்றி, அச்சமின்றி, துணிவுடன் எதிர்கொள்ளுங்கள். உயர்கல்வியில் சிறந்து…
The petition is said to describe the relationship as having “irretrievably broken.” Along with the request for divorce, she has reportedly sought permanent alimony and asked for continued residence in the matrimonial home located in Neelankarai until the case is resolved or alternative arrangements are provided.
The court has issued notice to Vijay, asking him to appear in person on April 20. Further proceedings in the matter are expected to continue on the same date.
Despite the deeply personal nature of these developments, Vijay’s recent public communication made no reference to the situation.
Instead, his focus remained firmly on motivating students during an important phase of their academic journey.
His decision to prioritize encouragement over clarification has drawn attention, as many observers noted the contrast between the ongoing speculation about his personal life and his choice to highlight education and resilience.
Over the years, Vijay has often used his public platform to engage with social causes and youth-centric issues beyond cinema and politics.
This recent message continues that pattern.
At a time when conversations around him are dominated by uncertainty and legal proceedings, his note to students served as a reminder of larger responsibilities — particularly those that involve inspiring the next generation.
By urging students to face their exams without fear and with confidence, Vijay subtly redirected the public narrative from personal turmoil to collective motivation.
In doing so, he reinforced a simple yet powerful idea — that perseverance, courage, and focus remain essential tools in shaping both individual futures and society at large.
