Actor Vijay Varma said he had been handling the "pap situation" pretty well until he started seeing Tamannaah Bhatia. Speaking at the India Today Conclave, he said the paparazzi "lost their minds" after his relationship with her was known, and they even showed up at his doors.
"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'. I mean I like talking to them, but they are not my friends."
He added, "They cannot ask me personal questions. They are not journalists, in fact no one can ask me personal questions without my consent." Tamannaah finally confirmed their relationship in June this year after months of speculations.
The two were seen together onscreen for the first time in the Netflix original anthology' Lust Stories 2.' Vijay was recently seen as a cop in Sujoy Ghosh's Netflix original 'Jaane Jaan,' alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat. On the other hand, Tamannaah was seen in Disney+ Hotstar's 'Aakhri Sach' where she played the lead investigator. She was also seen in a special appearance in Rajinikanth's blockbuster 'Jailer' earlier this year.
