Bollywood’s favorite and down-to-earth couple, Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma, have broken up after dating for more than a year. Although neither has issued a statement, insiders close to the actors indicate that the breakup was amicable and mutual, with both opting to pursue their solo careers.
Their romance, which took root on the shooting sets of Netflix’s “Lust Stories 2”, had fans going ga-ga over their on-screen and off-screen chemistry. Unlike most Bollywood pairs, Tamannaah and Vijay remained refreshingly low-key, frequently commenting on their relationship with candor instead of dramatic public declarations of love. Their relationship was a breath of fresh air, showing that opposites attract—Tamannaah, a South Indian cinema actress with a refined image, and Vijay, an offbeat actor famous for his gritty roles.
Though they broke up, sources indicate that there’s no bad blood between the two. Both have their plates full of work in the near future—Tamannaah with her roster of high-budget South Indian movies and Vijay Varma making waves in Bollywood’s experimental cinema circuit. Sources maintain that their breakup was a matter of keeping work above romance, something many contemporary couples can understand.
