Reports have been circulating about a possible divorce between Vijay and his wife Sangeetha Sornalingam. According to several media reports, Sangeetha has reportedly filed a divorce petition. This allegedly includes claims of extra-marital relationship involving an unnamed actress.
The controversy intensified after Parthiban spoke about the situation at a recent awards event. While addressing the audience, he made a remark referring to Trisha’s famous character Kundhavai from the film ‘Ponniyin Selvan’.
During the speech, he suggested that Trisha could have “stayed at home” instead of attending the reception to avoid creating more controversies around Vijay’s personal life.
The comment quickly spread across social media. Many viewers criticised the remark as insensitive and sexist. They accused Parthiban of unfairly blaming a woman for public gossip.
Trisha did not remain silent for long. Although she did not directly name Parthiban, her social media post appeared to be a clear response to the controversy.
In a strongly worded message, she wrote: “A microphone doesn’t make a comment intelligent or humorous. It just makes stupidity louder.”
Her statement quickly gained support from fans and fellow celebrities.
Trisha also revealed another surprising detail. She claimed that her name and photograph were reportedly added to the awards event presentation at the last minute through an assistant at someone’s request.
Facing heavy criticism, Parthiban initially apologised for his words, describing them as “unintentional.” However, the backlash continued, prompting him to release a detailed clarification video.
In the video, the actor-director tried to explain his perspective. He said there is a difference between making a mistake and doing something wrong deliberately.
According to Parthiban, mistake happens unknowingly while wrongdoing involves intention. He insisted that his comment fell into the first category.
He also stressed that the claims suggesting he deliberately targeted Trisha were completely false.
“The allegations that I intentionally aimed at her are 100 per cent lies,” he said in the video.
During his clarification, Parthiban again referred to the wedding reception where Vijay and Trisha were seen together.
He explained that his remark was simply about avoiding unnecessary controversy at a sensitive time.
However, he maintained that he never planned to bring up the topic during his stage speech and that the comment was made casually.
One of the biggest criticisms directed at Parthiban was that his remark sounded sexist. Many viewers felt his “stay at home” comment implied that women should limit their public appearances.
Addressing this accusation, Parthiban rejected the claim.
He clarified that he never intended to suggest that women should stay at home or avoid public events. According to him, the interpretation of his comment had gone completely out of context.
