Indian actor Vijay Varma has, for the first time, spoken about the unusual situation he faced following his breakup with South Indian actress Tamannaah Bhatia.
Vijay Varma and Tamannaah Bhatia were among Bollywood’s most talked-about couples. Their friendship reportedly began in 2022, and they publicly confirmed their relationship in June 2023. However, after two years together, the couple unexpectedly decided to part ways.
In a recent interview with Indian media, Vijay Varma opened up about the intense social media backlash he received after the breakup. He revealed that he was subjected to significant online hate and constant speculation about his personal life, which negatively affected him.
He also reflected on how public discourse has changed over time, saying that earlier it was considered inappropriate to speak negatively about someone in public forums, but now those being criticized often face more hostility than those spreading negativity.
Varma recalled the false narratives and continuous negative commentary written about him in 2025. He emphasized that he chose silence and stayed away from the public eye for about 14 months in order to shift attention back to his work.
He added that in recent years, discussions about his personal life have overshadowed his professional achievements.
Meanwhile, in a 2025 interview, Tamannaah Bhatia also spoke about love and relationships, stating that she is trying to become a better life partner.
