Now, in an interview with Film Companion, the Darlings actor revealed the real reason behind it. He said, “When I started out, I thought I would not be with an actress or anybody from the industry, just because I was probably angry at the industry.”
However, when Vijay met Tamannaah and started dating her, his opinions changed drastically. Elaborating on it, he said, “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 says Tamannaah brings perspective to his life
In the conversation, Vijay further praised Tamannaah’s rich acting legacy and said that his girlfriend brings perspective to his life whenever he’s not in his element.
“Her experience and her good work and good sense really help me a lot. She brings perspective to many things. Sometimes, I am just suffering because I said something, did some interview… and she brings perspective immediately.”
