In a recent revelation, popular actress Tamannaah Bhatia confirmed her relationship with actor Vijay Varma, disclosing that their bond developed during their time as co-stars on the set of Lust Stories 2. The anthology film, directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, Konkona Sensharma, R Balki, and Sujoy Ghosh, brought them together for the first time. In an interview with Film Companion, Tamannaah candidly discussed her relationship with Vijay, emphasizing that their connection goes beyond their shared profession.

Tamannaah dismissed the notion that attraction between co-stars is solely based on their work collaboration, stating, "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."

Elaborating further, she described Vijay as someone she looks up to and someone with whom she formed an organic bond. Tamannaah emphasized the ease with which they let their guards down, fostering a deep connection.

Discussing the challenges faced by high-performing women, Tamannaah highlighted the societal expectations that women must sacrifice and adapt for others, even in something as simple as being themselves. She expressed gratitude for finding a partner who understood her world without requiring her to change or make sacrifices. Vijay Varma became her "happy place," someone she deeply cares about.
