Vijay Deverakonda Admits Not Spending Enough Time With His Dear Ones Since The Last Few Years

In the recent viral interview, Vijay Deverakonda candidly said, “Relationships come above everything. I have been growing up over the last 2 years. I have learned to live life also. Before that, I was not like this. The last 2-3 years, I didn’t like how my life went. I didn’t spend enough time with my mum, dad, my girlfriend, and friends.” This introspective statement by a star as loved and recognised as Vijay is a huge thing, and it goes to show his frailties and vulnerabilities. Though Vijay didn’t confirm Rashmika's name, the quote suggests of a significant relationship that he now prioritizes.
