Actor Vijay is known for being a family man and someone who’s insanely private about his family. It’s rare for his pictures with his family, like this one with his daughter Divya Saasha, to find their way online. Or pictures like this playful one with his son Jason Sanjay, playing video games, to give a peek into his private life.

Vijay married his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, in August 1999 and the couple has been together ever since. They married according to both Hindu and Christian traditions back then, with his wife making rare appearances with him at events. Vijay turns 50 on June 22 and was born in 1974 to SA Chandrasekhar and Shoba Chandrasekhar.

Vijay’s father is a director-actor known for making films that focus on social issues and call for accountability. His mother is a playback singer, writer and director who has written stories turned into films by her husband..
