Actor Vijay Varma's recent return to the big screen with Gustaakh Ishq comes after a 14-month hiatus. In an exclusive chat, he opens up about the challenges of being in the spotlight, particularly when in a high-profile relationship. Varma, who was previously linked to actress Tamannaah Bhatia, believes that the intense media attention affected his career, making it difficult for his work to shine through. When asked if he deliberately took a break from the industry due to overexposure, Varma candidly agreed, stating, 'The work wasn't coming out, so the conversation was about everything else.' He expressed his desire for a 'complete silence,' but acknowledged that it's nearly impossible in today's era of constant scrutiny. Varma's journey from a character actor to a leading romantic hero has not been without its challenges. He believes that being in a public relationship altered how people perceived him, 'People saw me in a certain way,' he said. However, the actor remained focused on his craft, working tirelessly to prove himself as a leading man. With Gustaakh Ishq, Varma is embracing his 'lover boy' era, but he's not letting the pressure of public expectations dictate his choices. 'I have never really worried about being inside any kind of box because I know I have more to offer,' he said. Varma's dedication to his craft and his relentless pursuit of excellence have paid off, and he's now reaping the rewards of his hard work.
