Vijay’s Past Relationship with Tamannaah Bhatia

Before the dating rumours with Fatima, Vijay Varma was in a relationship with actress Tamannaah Bhatia. The duo starred together in Sujoy Ghosh’s segment for Netflix’s Lust Stories 2, which premiered in June 2023.

After much speculation, Tamannaah confirmed their relationship during an interview with Film Companion in June 2023. However, the couple reportedly parted ways in March this year.

“Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma parted ways weeks ago as a couple but they plan to remain good friends. Both have been working hard in their respective schedules," a source told Pinkvilla at the time.

Later, a report by Siasat Daily suggested that the breakup stemmed from differing priorities. According to the report, Tamannaah was feeling the pressure to settle down and was reportedly keen on getting married.

The news portal claimed this became a “point of contention” between the two, leading to “frequent disagreements.”
