Amid these reports, an old interview of the actress has resurfaced on the internet in which she is talking about the problems faced by high-achieving women in love. Talking to Film Companion about Vijay, Tamannaah shared, “He is someone with whom I bonded very organically. He is someone who really came to me with all his guard down. Then it became very easy for me to put all my guards down. With high-achieving women, we have this problem ki humko lagta hai har cheez ke liye hardwork karna padta hai. You don’t have to walk on eggshells just to be yourself. He is a person whom I care about deeply and yes, he is my happy place.”
