When Sara Ali Khan was asked on Koffee With Karan 7 who would she date, after much persuasion, she took the name of Vijay Deverakonda. While the actress initially denied taking a name, after Karan Johar spoke about the manifestation on the couch, the actress finally gave in and took the name of the Arjun Reddy actor. Responding to being an object of desire and the fact that Sara Ali Khan wanted to date him, Vijay said, “I am a better actor.” He went on to add, “I texted her. It is so sweet of her to have said that.”

When Vijay was further prodded about whether he wants to Sara Ali Khan, he added, “I can’t even say the word ‘relationship’ well. How can I be in one?” On the other hand, during Koffee With Karan 7, Ananya Panday hinted at Vijay dating Rashmika Mandanna. When she was asked to answer about who’s Vijay dating during the Rapid Fire round, the actress replied, “He is in a ‘Rush’ to meet ‘Mika’ Singh… get it?”
