During their relationship, they were spotted at events, movie screenings, and public outings, and both openly expressed their feelings for each other.
During the promotions of Matka King, Vijay opened up about online negativity. He mentioned that the fast-changing world and social media culture have made it difficult to keep up. He expressed concern about excessive, personal, and fabricated comments, noting that people being targeted often receive more criticism than support.
