Actor Vijay Varma appears to have possibly entered a new chapter in his personal life, as recent buzz suggests he might be romantically involved with actress Fatima Sana Shaikh. The speculation began after the two were spotted together outside a café in Mumbai. Captured by paparazzi, the actors were seen sharing light-hearted moments, laughing and embracing, which quickly went viral on social media.
Their camaraderie sparked widespread curiosity, with fans speculating whether their friendship has blossomed into something more. Neither Vijay nor Fatima has addressed the rumours publicly so far but social media users remain convinced that there is more than just friendship between the two.
Adding further intrigue to their relationship is the fact that both the actors are currently working together on an upcoming film titled Gustaakh Ishq. The romantic drama is being directed by Vibhu Puri and features industry veterans like Naseeruddin Shah and Sharib Hashmi in significant roles. This marks the third project under Manish Malhotra’s Stage 5 Production banner, which was launched in September 2023.
Vijay Varma’s personal life has previously drawn attention during his relationship with actress Tamannaah Bhatia. The duo collaborated professionally in Sujoy Ghosh’s segment for Lust Stories 2, which premiered on Netflix in June 2023. While the nature of their relationship had long been speculated upon, Tamannaah confirmed it in an interview during the same month.
However, the relationship came to an end in March 2025. At the time, a source shared with an entertainment portal that although they had parted ways as a couple, they maintained mutual respect and were determined to remain friends despite their busy work schedules.
Reports that emerged later hinted at a deeper reason behind their breakup. Allegedly, the relationship began to strain under the pressure of differing long-term expectations. Tamannaah, reportedly keen on settling down due to her age and stage in life, began to feel a growing impatience, which led to repeated disagreements with Vijay.
These issues reportedly became too difficult to reconcile. However, it should be noted that these claims were not independently verified and nothing can be said with confirmation in this regard.
