The timing of the post coincides with the start of the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams, which began on March 2 and are scheduled to continue through March 26.
Ongoing Divorce Proceedings
The social media update comes just days after reports confirmed that Sangeetha Sornalingam filed a petition for divorce at the Chengalpattu Family Court. The couple, who married in 1999 and share two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha, have reportedly been living separately for some time.
According to legal filings, Sangeetha has cited "irretrievable breakdown of marriage" and made allegations regarding infidelity. The court has reportedly issued a notice for Vijay to appear in person on April 20, 2026. Despite the public nature of the filing, Vijay has maintained a strict silence on the matter, refusing to issue a personal statement or clarify the allegations.
Political Transition and Scrutiny
The personal developments arrive at a critical juncture for Vijay, who recently pivoted from his decades-long acting career to full-time politics. As the head of TVK, he is currently preparing for the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

While fans have expressed overwhelming support for the star on social media, political analysts suggest the divorce row could be a test of his public image. By focusing his first communication on student welfare, Vijay appears to be prioritising his "Jana Nayagan" (People's Leader) persona as he prepares for a major party meeting in Thanjavur later this week.
