In a chat with Curly Tales, Vijay said, “I know what it feels like to be loved, and I know what it is to love. I don’t know unconditional love because my love comes with expectations, so clearly my love isn’t unconditional. I feel everything is over-romanticised. I don’t even know if it’s okay to expect unconditional love.”
On the subject of marriage, Vijay expressed his perspective, saying, “Marriage doesn’t have to come in between someone’s career. Marriage is harder on women. It also depends on the profession you are in.”
