    While their onscreen chemistry has sparked speculations and even discussions for several years, their association had reportedly begun in 2017. According to reports, the pair had met on the set of ‘Geetha Govindam’ and had formed a strong professional rapport with each other, which led to two very successful collaborations between the two actors, including films like ‘Dear Comrade’. Their performances had sparked widespread speculations about a potential off-screen relationship between the two, but they neither confirmed nor denied the rumours.


    It was in the later part of their initial collaborations that the duo often caught public attention when the two were spotted at airports and vacation destinations, with their social media posts hinting at shared experiences. The couple had hinted at being in relationships when asked during media enquiries but had avoided taking names, maintaining privacy whilst fuelling fans’ interests further.
