A Proud Moment Overshadowed By Online Debate

The swearing-in ceremony, held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, saw Vijay’s parents, Shoba Chandrasekhar and SA Chandrasekhar, seated in the front row, visibly emotional as their son took oath as Chief Minister.

However, attention soon shifted away from the historic occasion and towards who was missing from the gathering, as well as who was present.

Family Absence Sparks Social Media Buzz

Vijay’s wife Sangeetha Sornalingam and their children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha, did not attend the ceremony. Their absence quickly became a trending topic online, especially in light of reports earlier this year suggesting that Sangeetha had filed for divorce.

The couple, married since 27 August 1999, share two children. The lack of their presence at such a significant moment added fuel to ongoing speculation surrounding Vijay’s personal life.

Trisha Krishnan’s Presence Draws Attention

Actor Trisha Krishnan’s attendance at the ceremony also became a talking point on social media. As images from the event circulated, users began linking various personal narratives to the political milestone, intensifying online discussion around Vijay’s relationships.

While no official statements have been made regarding the speculation, social media discourse continued to escalate.

No sign of Vijay’s son or daughter… That tells a lot about the equation TVK Vijay shares with Sangeetha and the kids.

Enna sago.. innuma neenga Vijay ah nambittu irukeengha. Kids engha bro? Avanga kooda varakoodatha?

Another commented, “What’s this, dude.. I was trusting Vijay all this while. Where are the kids, bro? They shouldn’t come with him?”

हे भलतंच वेगळं प्रकरण.. इथे 2 मुलांच्या बापासोबत नात्यात येताना आता मुलींना लाज नाही तर अभिमान वाटतोय. बायको, मुलं शपथविधीपासून लांब… प्रेयसी मात्र थाटात.. विजयचं कौतुक अभिनय, राजकारणात हिरो मात्र पर्सनल लाईफबद्दल म्हटलं तर जिरो #thalpativijay #vijayoath #trisha https://t.co/whRXOcvbCt

A more critical comment read, “This is a completely different matter altogether.. Here, daughters now feel pride rather than shame when entering into a relationship with the father of two children. The wife and kids are kept away from the swearing-in ceremony… but the mistress is there in full grandeur.”

She wife & kids deserved the limelight…not #TrishaKrishnan. A man who has made his wife & kids go through pain..can never been a good governor. No respect for such men however successful they might get #Vijay #TVK

Supporters of Sangeeta and the children also voiced their views, with one user saying, “wife & kids deserved the limelight…not #TrishaKrishnan. A man who has made his wife & kids go through pain..can never been a good governor.”

Sangeetha n kids missed💔! It would hv been wholesome had the entire family was present! Vijay is so popular that his personal life do matter 4 public! An unwanted lady instead was present.
He need 2 appoint n engage with able IAS officers 2 b successful n provide good governance

The fact that vijay fans are normalising this horrible act. Support your idol but don’t blindly worship him.

Biggest day in his life and none of his son n daughter are present. Speaks volumes who cheated or not https://t.co/XnL1iieYJt

Frustration was also visible in comments like, “The fact that vijay fans are normalising this horrible act. Support your idol but don’t blindly worship him. Biggest day in his life and none of his son n daughter are present. Speaks volumes who cheated or not”

Vijay inviting his side chick to the biggest event, Trisha receiving birthday wishes from celebrities saying she got TN as a birthday gift & now the way Archana is hugging her show how cheap Vijay & his surroundings are 🤧

Imagine the pain and shame they are going through today abandoned by a man who left them for another woman, now parading his new life in front of the entire state.
No child deserves to watch their father celebrate power with his side chick No wife deserves this public humiliation pic.twitter.com/fcHj6Pnujs
