Vijay Varma: Public Love Cost My Privacy

Vijay Varma is opening up about the impact of public relationships on his life and career. After a period largely away from the spotlight, the actor is re-emerging with his film Gustaakh Ishq, reflecting on how constant media attention, especially surrounding his relationship with Tamannaah Bhatia, affected him. He confessed that the relentless focus on his personal life, even when he wasn't actively engaging with the press, made him crave "more silence" and a necessary break.

Varma indicated that the intense public interest in his romance with Bhatia, which began in 2023 and concluded after two years, significantly shaped how he was perceived. He believes this public image influenced opportunities, suggesting it played a role in him being cast in a romantic lead role in Gustaakh Ishq. This shift contrasts with his earlier career, which featured smaller parts and negative roles.

The actor explained his hiatus was not a planned disappearance but a consequence of work not being released, leading to conversations focusing solely on personal matters. He acknowledged that living in the public eye today means constant scrutiny, a reality he feels the current generation must contend with. Varma's candidness highlights the challenges of maintaining privacy while navigating a high-profile career in the entertainment industry.
