Actor Vijay Varma, who is dating fellow actor Tamannaah Bhatia, spoke about a recent news story about a ring that Upasana Konidela was said to have gifted her. It was said that the ring was worth more than Rs 2 crore, which Tamannaah denied. Vijay laughed about it, and recalled what he texted Tamannaah when this happened.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Vijay was asked about the ring episode, and asked how he’ll be able to match that if he ever wants to gift her an expensive ring. He said with a laugh, “Aapko pata hai na woh kya hai? Woh bottle ka dhakkan hai. Woh mazaak kar rahe hain ek dusre ke saath (You know that it’s a bottle cap right? They’re both having fun). Media carry kar rahi hai ke Rs 2 crore ka fifth-largest diamond. Rs 2 crore mein fifth-largest diamond kisse milta hai (The media is saying it’s the fifth-largest diamond in the world. How can you buy the fifth-largest diamond in the world for Rs 2 crore)?”

He added, “Maine usse message kiya ke yeh sab fake news aa rahi hai, aur mera naam kyu nahi likha (I texted her saying all this fake news is swirling around, and why I’m not mentioned).”

Upasana had shared a picture of Tamannaah with the ‘diamond’ ring in 2019, after the actor had completed work on the film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, starring Upasana’s father-in-law Chiranjeevi. She’d written, “A gift for the super @tamannaahspeaks from Mrs Producer 😉❤️🥳. Missing u already. Catch up soon. #SyeraaNarashimaReddy.”

Tamannaah herself recently refuted these rumours, and posted on Instagram stories, “Hate to break it to you but we were doing a photoshoot with a bottle opener and not an actual diamond. #GirlsLikeToClickPics 😜” She had clarified this some years ago when she replied to Upasana in a now-deleted tweet, “This bottle opener shall have many memories attached to it. Felt awesome to catch up after so long, waiting to see you soon, miss u more.”
