Vijay Varma and Tamannaah Bhatia's relationship is the talk of the town. The accomplished actors hit headlines for their work as well as their personal lives. At the India Today Conclave, the actor spoke about the constant paparazzi attention and handling it well. He said ever since his and Tamannaah's relationship was confirmed, paparazzi went out of control. Vijay further revealed a group of paparazzi reached his building to take footage.

He shared at the India Today Conclave, "I was doing fairly good on my own. The pap situation escalated a bit as soon as I started seeing Tamannaah Bhatia. That's where the paps lost their minds. I couldn't control it! And there were times they came right at my doorstep. Until now, nobody came to my building. I stepped out of my building and said 'no one will step in my space. Do not step over this line. No one should know where I live in Andheri. I live in this isolated part of Andheri. Don't go tell your friends where I stay and I don't want you all outside my house'."

He further added, "I mean I like talking to them, but they are not my friends. They cannot ask me personal questions. They are not journalists, in fact no one can ask me personal questions without my consent."

In June, during the promotions of Lust Stories 2, Tamannaah confirmed Vijay as her boyfriend. She shared, "I don't think you can get attracted to someone just because they are your co-star. I have had so many co-stars. I think if one has to fall for someone, feel something for someone it's definitely more personal, it's nothing to do with what they do for a living, I mean that's not the reason why this would happen."

The actress released, "He is someone I really look up to. He is someone with whom I bonded very very organically. He is someone who came to me with all his guard down. Then, it became very easy for me to put all my guard down. With high achieving women, we have this problem, that we think we have to work hard for everything. When something is so simple and you don't have to walk on eggshells to just be yourself because I think in India we also have this that a woman has to change her entire life for someone. If you have to find a partner you might have to physically move or do so many things that serve that person's understanding but I was like I have created a world for myself and here there's a person who actually understood that world without me doing anything. He's a person who I care about deeply and yeah, he's my happy place."
