About Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi

Varun and Lavanya have known each other since they acted together in the 2017 film Mister and again in the 2018 film Antariksham 9000 KMPH. While there were rumours of them dating, the couple never confirmed them. Even Varun’s uncle, Chiranjeevi, once joked that their relationship was a well-kept secret, even from him. In June 2023, they got engaged in Hyderabad in a close-knit ceremony and married in Italy in November of the same year in a lavish wedding.

Varun was last seen in the 2024 films Operation Valentine and Matka, both of which failed to make a mark. Lavanya was seen in the 2022 film Happy Birthday and the 2024 web series Miss Perfect. She will soon star in Sathi Leelavathi and Thanal.
