Vijay Deverakonda said, “I am 35 years old; you think I will be single?” When asked if he has dated his co-star before, the actor added, “Yes, I have.”
Vijay went on to say that his love is not “unconditional” as it comes with certain expectations. He said, “I know what it feels like to be loved, and I know what it is to love. I don’t know unconditional love because my love comes with expectations, so clearly my love isn’t unconditional. I feel everything is over-romanticized.”
