In the final one 12 months, Vijay Deverakonda’s public picture has been a heady mixture of his rising pan-India reputation and elevated consideration to his private life, with relentless experiences about who the actor is courting.
While link-up rumours with actor and shut buddy Rashmika Mandanna, additionally his frequent co-star, have been a continuing for a very long time, Vijay’s entry to Hindi cinema with the upcoming Liger has spiked curiosity in his private life as actors Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor and Ananya Panday, additionally the co-star of his newest, have publicly confessed fondness for him.
But Vijay Deverakonda, whose title brings to the thoughts his in style hot-headed and territorial on-screen avatar Arjun Reddy, seems nonchalant about nearly all the pieces in his actual life, together with courting hypothesis. Rumours, the star says, are simply “collateral damage”.
“I think it’s just collateral damage of being a public figure. When people love you and want to know more about you, they’re just interested in your life. If there are news articles coming, I’m ok with it,” the actor says in a gaggle interview forward the discharge of Liger.
Vijay has been fiercely protecting about his personal life, not often commenting on the rumours with Rashmika, with whom he labored with in Dear Comrade and Geetha Govindam, and chooses to take a look at the scrutiny from one other perspective: That no less than he isn’t a “nobody” who individuals are not to write down about.
Hence, the actor insists, the highlight on his neatly guarded love life, by no means makes him uncomfortable. “I’d rather be who I am and have these rumours written about me than be a nobody and have nothing written about me. So I’m ok with the not necessarily true stuff, or not necessarily productive stuff. I’m comfortable with it, it does not bother me,” he says.
Vijay’s Zen-like calm to reply to intrusive media glare can be mirrored in his evolution as a public determine, the place he has realised that similar to his love life, some opinions needn’t go public. The actor has famously obtained flak for a few of his statements–from voicing that not everybody must be allowed to vote to his defence of Arjun Reddy, the 2017 blockbuster broadly panned for being misogynistic.
“I’m vocal, however the extra in style you get, you determine to not converse your thoughts all the time. People don’t have to know what I’m pondering, my opinion on all the pieces doesn’t matter. There are already limitless opinions on a subject, there is no such thing as a use including mine to it. Nothing nice will come out of it anyway.
“Earlier I would speak a lot more on everything I felt about, but now I have learnt that you don’t need to always vocalise everything you feel. Sometimes it is better to shut up and talk to your friends about what you feel. At the core, Vijay Deverakonda, who is not the actor, is still the same boy,” he provides.
