Vijay, who filed a divorce petition in 2018, had accused his wife of cruelty.

He also told the court that he would take responsibility of their children and would pay maintenance to his wife. However, Nagarathna did not agree to the divorce.

After due processes and submission of arguments, the court had reserved its order in the case for June 13. On Thursday, the court passed an order rejecting Vijay's petition.

Sources close to Vijay said that the actor is living separately with his partner Kirti Gowda.
