Vijay, who is set to make his pan-India debut with Karan Johar’s co-production Liger, also revealed that he has never told anyone, “I love you too.” Vijay is said to be dating ‘Dear Comrade’ actress Rashmika Mandanna. They have, however, never admitted to dating each other. During her appearance on Koffee With Karan, Vijay’s Liger co-star Ananya Panday hinted that the two of them were getting married soon.
Talking about this in a recent interview with GQ, Vijay said, “I’m someone who loves being in love. I believe in love stories. They’re my happy place. But I’m also scared of heartbreak. So far, it hasn’t happened.”
He continued, “Growing up, my dad taught me that love is bullshit and that money is the centre of this world… This was ingrained in me so deeply that when I grew into an adult, I didn’t believe in relationships. I began believing that whoever came to me, came with a want. When someone said they love me, I never said I love you too. Till today, it doesn’t come as naturally as it should.” The actor also added that his perspective towards love changed after he got into a “long relationship” with a woman after he became an actor. The actor, however, didn’t reveal the name of the woman.
