The release of Netflix’s Lust Stories 2 last month caused quite a stir, with one particular short film titled ‘Sex with the Ex’ garnering attention for its sizzling performances by Vijay Varma and Tamannaah Bhatia, directed by Sujoy Ghosh. While critics and viewers couldn’t stop praising their on-screen chemistry, their off-screen bond gave rise to swirling rumors and speculations about their relationship. As curiosity intensifies, fans eagerly await an official statement or further glimpses into the truth behind their undeniable connection.
In an exclusive interview with GQ India, Vijay Varma recently disclosed his relationship status, confirming the speculations surrounding his dating life. He openly stated, “I think it’s quite evident now that we are in a relationship,” referring to Tamannaah Bhatia’s earlier confession on Film Companion. The actress shared the story of their connection, emphasizing how their bond naturally evolved during the filming of Lust Stories 2. Vijay’s candid revelation adds fuel to the ongoing discussions, leaving fans and followers intrigued by the blossoming romance between the talented duo. The pair’s on-screen chemistry has certainly translated into a genuine off-screen love story, captivating the attention of both the media and the audience.
Expressing his deep affection for his co-star-turned-partner, Vijay Varma joyfully states, “I am incredibly happy and madly in love with her.” He refers to this period of his life as the transition from his “villain era” to his “romance era,” symbolizing a shift in his personal and professional journey toward embracing love and affection.
Despite frequently portraying dark and intense characters like serial killers or drug peddlers, Vijay Varma asserts that his on-screen persona has never had an impact on his dating life. Surprisingly, he reveals that there are actually people who are attracted to the type of men he portrays. He said ‘In fact, to my sheer surprise, there are takers for the kind of men I portray on-screen,” However, Varma acknowledges his readiness to explore roles that showcase a different aspect of his personality. He begins this transformation by embracing the role of a hopeless romantic in real life, indicating a desire to break away from the intense characters he has become known for and embrace a more tender and romantic side in his future acting endeavors.
Both Vijay Varma and Tamannaah Bhatia have been actively engaging with each other on social media, leaving comments on each other’s posts.
