Vijay said, "I don't think I have learned anything. Yes, I have learnt a bit of Hindi and in the process, I learned a bit of Tamil. I met a lot of people. I have learned to grateful for the love that's come my way. A little bit I have started believing in God I think. I was always spiritual but now I feel there is someone out there like planning these things maybe because it feels too much for an individual to do. I'll do what excites me. Whatever is fun till I enjoy it, I'll do it. I like doing epic stuff. For me, it needs to feel epic. In my house, there's one big thing that says, 'Do epic shit'. So I try to do what's epic to me and I do it." Vijay Deverakonda's answer is an interesting one. He has always believed in his instincts and his decisions have made him a force to reckon.
