Bollywood actor Vijay Varma has opened up about his conscious decision to step away from social media, revealing the intense negativity and personal attacks he faced after his reported split from actress Tamannaah Bhatia. Varma shared that the online discourse shifted dramatically, moving away from discussions about his work to personal abuse and fabricated stories.
Navigating a Shifting Online Landscape
Varma reflected on the stark contrast between current online interactions and past societal norms. "When we were growing up, saying something bad about someone on a public platform was frowned upon and not appreciated. Those who badmouthed were considered to be wrong," Varma stated in a recent interview. He lamented that this dynamic has now flipped, with abusers often facing no repercussions while those targeted receive even more negativity instead of support.
The actor admitted to struggling with the evolving culture of online communication. He highlighted how comments have become excessively direct, personal, and frequently based on fabricated information, making it difficult to engage constructively.
Prioritizing Life Beyond the Screen
Stepping back from the constant barrage of online negativity allowed Varma to refocus on what truly matters. He used this break to reconnect with his family and friends, relationships he felt he had neglected amidst his demanding work schedule. "That also gave me a chance to reconnect with my family. I recently moved into a bigger house. I make sure that my family visits me more often," he shared, emphasizing his renewed commitment to personal connections.
While Vijay Varma chose a dignified silence regarding the specifics of his reported breakup with Tamannaah Bhatia, Tamannaah herself has previously spoken about her aspirations for a future partner. She expressed a desire to become a "great life partner" whom someone would feel lucky to have.
On the professional front, Vijay Varma is anticipated to be seen next in the upcoming project 'Matka King'.
