Vijay, Rashmika on keeping relationship a secret

On Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, Vijay and Rashmika spoke about keeping their relationship under wraps for around eight years. He said, “Rashmika and I met as colleagues eight years ago. We became friends and then fell in love. We were in a relationship and eventually she became my wife. There was no hide-and-seek game. I did not find it necessary to talk about it. This is my life, and why should I discuss it with others?”
