Vijay and Tamannaah have been dating each other for some time now. They officially confirmed being in a relationship only recently, after they started the promotions for their first film together.

Tamannaah’s first onscreen kiss

Recalling his first meeting with her, Vijay told Instant Bollywood, “I met her [Tamanaah] for the reading at Sujoy Ghosh’s office. I think we broke the ice there. We shared our journey. She said, ‘I have been working for the last 17 years. I had a no-kiss policy in my contract.’ And then, she was like, ‘I have not done anything like this before.’ In the end, she told me that, ‘You are the first actor I am going to be kissing on screen’. I was like, ‘Thank you’.”

Lust Stories 2

Vijay and Tamannaah will be seen together onscreen for the first time in Sujoy Ghosh’s short film that features in the Netflix anthology Lust Stories 2. The film will have a digital release on June 29.
