Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma, who were recently seen together in Sujoy Ghosh’s segment in Lust Stories 2, have been dating each other for a few months now. Both Tamannaah and Vijay often speak about each other’s work, cheer for each other social media, and have been quite vocal about their relationship in public. In a recent interview, Vijay admitted that during his early days in the industry, he did not want to date anyone who was from the same business, but when he eventually started seeing Tamannaah, he “found so much value in having somebody who knows the game.”

In a chat with Film Companion, Vijay shared, “When I started out, I thought I would not be with an actress or anybody from the industry, just because I was probably very angry at the industry. So, when we started seeing each other, I found so much value in having somebody who knows the game, who knows the business, who understands the artistic, the creative, the logistics, the financial, all sides of movie making.”

Vijay then spoke about Tamannaah’s immense experience and her ability to give him perspective whenever he is “feeling a certain way.” He said, “Her experience and her good work and good sense really helps me a lot. She brings perspective to many things. Sometimes, I am just suffering because I am feeling a certain way in a day, because I said something, did some interview… and she brings a perspective immediately.”

Vijay and Tammannah’s relationship rumours first started when the couple was spotted together at a New Year’s party in Goa. Recently, Vijay said that he is “not particularly comfortable” with the attention that his personal life is getting, but he is trying to get used to it. He previously told indianexpress.com, “First of all, it’s news to me that we are one of the most sought after couples. It’s very humbling and very nice but I wasn’t used to it when it first happened. I was very used to roaming around on my own. We go out together and we tend to get a lot of attention…” and added, “I am not particularly comfortable (with the attention) but I am just trying to get used to it.”
