"I’ve ended my villain era and gotten into the romance era"
In response to claims that his relationship was a publicity stunt to promote Lust Stories 2, Vijay Varma said he is “madly in love” with Tamannaah Bhatia.
Since Tamannaah confirmed that she is dating Vijay, questions about their relationship have been constant.
Speaking about their relationship, Vijay said:
“I think it’s fairly understood now that we are dating each other.
“I am happy and madly in love with her. I call this my ‘I’ve ended my villain era and gotten into the romance era’ phase of life.”
The couple showcased their onscreen chemistry in Lust Stories 2, where they played a former couple who find their way back into each other’s lives.
Tamannaah previously said of Vijay:
“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.”
After confirming that Lust Stories 2 was where things changed, Tamannaah continued:
“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.”
Rumours of the couple dating first came to light in January 2023 when they appeared to be spotted kissing at New Year’s party in Goa.
Vijay and Tamannaah have also been spotted together out in Mumbai.
