He candidly admitted that his intense focus on work caused him to neglect some important personal connections. “Over the last couple of years, I realized I wasn’t living the way I wanted to. I didn’t give enough time to my parents, my close friends, or even my girlfriend,” he revealed.
While he didn’t name anyone specifically, fans quickly speculated that his mention of a “girlfriend” might be referring to actress Rashmika Mandanna. The two have shared the screen in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, and their strong off-screen bond has sparked plenty of romantic rumors over time.
Vijay highlighted how this newfound self-awareness has shifted his priorities. “Now, I make an effort to be present. I want to be there for my mum and dad, and for my relationships,” he shared. This change in outlook has struck a chord with many fans, who appreciate this more relatable and emotionally open side of the actor.
