For the unversed, Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi met each other on the sets of their 2017 film Mister, a romantic action drama directed by Srinu Vaitla. While the two actors were expected to have shared a great on and off-screen camaraderie during the shoot of the film, we heard that the rumours about them dating started surfacing when they worked together again in the 2020 film Antariksham 9000 KMPH. The sci-fi adventure movie also featured Aditi Rao Hydari and was directed by Sankalp Reddy. According to reports, Varun chose to make his official proposal to Lavanya during her birthday celebration in Bangalore. Despite this significant event, the couple made a mutual decision to keep their relationship a secret until they were ready to publicly announce their engagement.
