<p>The main reason for Sangeetha filing for divorce is that she has alleged Vijay has an extramarital relationship with an actress. For the unversed, Vijay and Sangeetha tied the knot on August 25, 1999, and two ceremonies were held, as Vijay is a Christian while Sangeetha is a Hindu. The couple have two children, a son named Sanjay and a daughter named Divya.</p><h2>Vijay's indirect reaction to the divorce</h2><p>During his speech, Vijay reportedly said, "When that also didn’t work, they waited till 30 days before the election to spread rumours about those close to me. You know what I’m talking about; that didn't work too. No matter how many trials and pains you put me through, you can’t separate me from the people." As per netizens, this is an indirect dig at the divorce speculation. Amid the divorce rumours, the actor is also being linked to Trisha Krishnan, though both parties have remained silent on the matter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/tamil-actor-vijay-shares-his-first-social-media-post-days-after-his-wife-sangeetha-files-for-divorce-1772445709877"><strong>Tamil actor Vijay shares his first social media post days after his wife Sangeetha files for divorce</strong></a></p><h2>Vijay's upcoming film</h2><p>On the work front, Vijay will next be seen in<i> Jana Nayagan</i>, directed by H.

She wasn’t just sitting and taking it. She made it known that she wasn’t happy about his lifestyle. So it really caused a lot of verbal abuse. Personally, for me, the worst thing was they would ice each other. There would be a big fight, and then they wouldn’t talk for three weeks. I didn’t have siblings, and that house just went silent.” Also Read: From Monster to Mad Max, 8 Unforgettable performances from Charlize Theron Charlize Theron's rise to global stardom Born in South Africa, in Benoni, she is the only child of Gerda and Charles Theron.

Charlize Theron opens up about traumatic moment after her mother killed her father

<p>Celebrity weddings are no less than festivals in India. From couture outfits and tightly guarded ceremonies, there is a lot of excitement and curiosity surrounding every detail. People don’t just want to see the pictures; they want to know what really happens behind those perfectly clicked moments. How much planning goes into these celebrations? And how do they manage to look so seamless despite their massive scale?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In reality, what is showcased on social media is only a small glimpse of a much larger process, and behind the glamour lies months of planning with emphasis on every minute detail. To understand this hidden world, here are insights from Himanshu Patel, founder of Epic Stories, who leads the team behind some of India’s biggest celebrity weddings, including those of Arjun Tendulkar-Saaniya Chandhok and Karishma Tanna-Varun Bangera.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/sadhvi-satish-sail-wins-femina-miss-india-world-2026-title-in-bhubaneswar-details-inside-1776583137990"><strong>Sadhvi Satish Sail wins Femina Miss India World 2026 title in Bhubaneswar; details inside</strong></a></p><h2>Every detail matters</h2><p>As per Patel, long before the festivities begin, teams work to understand what the couple and their families want in their celebrations. "With weddings like the celebration of Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya’s, planning becomes extremely important. A lot happens quietly behind the scenes. We spend time understanding the family, the flow of events, and the kind of moments that matter most to them," he told WION.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"There is also an added layer of privacy and discipline when you are working on high-profile weddings. We plan shot flows, team movement and backup systems carefully. At the same time, we always leave space for spontaneity because the most meaningful moments are never planned."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/udaipur-unveiled-from-royal-palaces-to-leopard-safaris-and-gourmet-fusion-1776104118167"><strong>Udaipur unveiled: From royal palaces to leopard safaris and gourmet fusion</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Non-disclosure agreements at weddings</h2><p>Privacy is one of the major concerns at celebrity weddings. "Every team member signs a proper NDA and contract before being part of such weddings. Beyond the legal side, we focus a lot on building a sense of responsibility within the team," he revealed. "Over time, we also become mindful of clear boundaries around what can be shared, when it can be shared, and what needs to remain private. When you are working with public figures, respecting that privacy becomes a natural part of the work."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/javed-akhtar-attends-grand-evening-of-57th-shankar-shad-mushaira-hails-young-poets-1775730077746"><strong>Javed Akhtar attends 57th Shankar Shad Mushaira, hails young poets</strong></a></p><h2>Patel on the evolution of wedding storytelling</h2><p>According to him, Luxury wedding photography in India has evolved significantly over the years. Patel feels "the biggest shift we’ve seen is towards authenticity with aesthetics. A few years ago, weddings were more about heavily posed, staged visuals. Today, couples still want something beautiful and editorial, but they also want it to feel real." Another big shift is "personalisation." Patel shares that "Every wedding is becoming very unique to the couple, from themes to storytelling styles. Technology is also playing a big role now." He believes "there’s a strong return to roots. People are embracing Indian traditions. So compared to earlier, I would say weddings today are less about showing off and more about expressing who you really are."</p><p><br>When asked about the experience while shooting the wedding of Arjun Tendulkar and Saaniya's wedding, he said, "It was a very warm and memorable experience for our team. Sometimes weddings can feel very structured because of the scale or the number of events, but this celebration had a very natural energy."</p><p>He further added that " the family and friends were fully present in the moment, which makes a big difference for photographers because the emotions become very real and spontaneous."</p><h2>What lies ahead</h2><p>As India’s luxury wedding industry continues to grow, Patel feels "we’re entering a very exciting phase for the industry with more focus on premium, experience-driven celebrations and destination weddings becoming bigger every year. And photography is naturally evolving along with that. Going forward, I feel there will be three very strong shifts."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/world-health-day-7-bollywood-s-icons-who-believe-in-minimal-wellness-to-stay-fit-1775556619814"><strong>World Health Day: Bollywood’s icons who believe in minimal wellness to stay fit</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"The first is deep personalisation. Couples don’t want generic wedding albums anymore. They want something that feels like them," he further added. And next is "technology."</p><p>Patel believes that the "use of drones, AI-assisted workflows" will increase. "But interestingly, even with all this tech, the demand for real, human emotion is only increasing."</p><p><br>"And the third is global exposure. Indian weddings are no longer just Indian events. They are becoming global experiences. More destination weddings, more international collaborations, and more global attention."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"So photographers will have to think and work at an international level while still staying rooted in our culture. At the end of it, I feel the future is not about bigger cameras or bigger productions, it’s about being more sensitive, more aware, and more honest in how we capture people. Because trends will keep changing, but emotions won’t."<br>&nbsp;</p>
