Tamannaah Bhatia has finally confirmed her relationship with Vijay Varma. In a recent interview, Tamannaah said Vijay is ‘a person who I care about deeply and he’s my happy place.’
She also admitted that sparks flew on the sets of their Netflix anthology Lust Stories 2.
Talking about Vijay in an interview with Film Companion, Tamannaah said, ‘I don’t think you can get attracted to someone just because they are your co-star. I have had so many co-stars. I think if one has to fall for someone, feel something for someone it’s definitely more personal, it’s nothing to do with what they do for a living, I mean that’s not the reason why this would happen.’
The actor added, ‘He is someone I really look up to. He is someone with whom I bonded very very organically. He is someone who came to me with all his guard down. Then, it became very easy for me to put all my guard down. With high achieving women, we have this problem, that we think we have to work hard for everything. When something is so simple and you don’t have to walk on eggshells to just be yourself because I think in India we also have this that a woman has to change her entire life for someone. If you have to find a partner you might have to physically move or do so many things that serve that person’s understanding but I was like I have created a world for myself and here there’s a person who actually understood that world without me doing anything. He’s a person who I care about deeply and yeah, he’s my happy place.’
Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma’s dating rumours gained steam after a video of them supposedly kissing each other at a New Year’s bash in Goa went viral on the internet. Despite several public appearances together, the couple had remained tightlipped about their romance.
Tamannaah and Vijay will be seen next in Lust Stories 2, which will stream from June 29 on Netflix.
