Talking about the most searched question on the internet about the actor, Vijay remains Unmarried to date, and that must have sent some calmness to all his female fans. The actor remains steamingly hot and single at 33 but is rumoured to be married soon.

After his appearance with Rashmika Mandanna in Parasuram’s Geetha Govindam, the chemistry between the duo was immensely appreciated by the audience. It led to a second movie Dear Comrade. However, it received mixed reviews, but the chemistry and a great bond between the actors got them going out on dates. It brought about some hopes for the fans who love watching them together.

When the rumour about getting married in the coming years surfaced over the internet, Rashmika, in an interview, cleared the air with the statement- she’s still young and marriage will happen when it has to happen. Still, she doesn’t see it happening soon for her. Hence it’s hard to tell for how long the actor will be single. But so far as we know, Deverakonda’s status is single unless the actor has a secret affair.

Controversies

When you’re a big name in the industry and young, you ought to be a part of controversies. And especially for an actor like Vijay, with a diverse choice of movies that he acts in and produces, controversy is something that we can always see coming. Deverakonda’s movies, such as Arjun Reddy and NOTA, have raised questions and controversies around the time of their releases.

In terms of his movie NOTA, Vijay, in an interview, said that he doesn’t have patience for politics and also believes that not everyone should be allowed to vote, which created a ruckus. The controversy went full circle, ignoring Vijay’s explanation of his statement, which said- 

“When you are getting on a plane too to Bombay, Would we all decide whom to be the pilot of the plane ?? Would the 300 people who are going to travel decide the pilot of the plane ?? No, we let an efficient agency like the airlines decide the best person possible to fly a plane.”

To which he also added- 

“Why we are having money swing a vote, why we are having cheap liquors to swing a vote. It is ridiculous. I am not even saying that rich people should vote. I want the middle-class people who are educated and who wouldn’t get swung by little money to vote. I don’t even think that everyone should be allowed to vote because they don’t even know whom they are voting for and why they are voting. I won’t stand in an election where people voting for money and liquors.”

Which makes perfect sense to the literate audience

Also, his other starrer Arjun Reddy despite commercial success, received criticism for its functionality. The leads who set an example for the audience since people are over the board influenced by cinemas in this nation are problematic in movies like Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh. The Qarib Qarib Single actress Parvathy pointed out-

“When a man is being misogynistic and abusive and you show that in a way that incites applause in the audience, then that’s glorification. At the same time, (if) you make the audience think (about) whether he’s done the right thing or not, then you’re collaborating with the audience. There is cinema, there is a dialogue. But the other one is almost spoonfeeding you that this is okay.”

Such controversies are a part of cinema and will continue to rise and fall time and again. And since everyone has a perspective on the movie, differences in opinions will continue to exist, and so will controversies.
