Tamannaah Bhatia has sparked intrigue with a cryptic Instagram Story, just as rumours swirl about her ex-boyfriend Vijay Varma’s growing closeness with actress Fatima Sana Shaikh. While neither Tamannaah nor Vijay has publicly confirmed their reported breakup, sources suggest the couple, who began dating during the shoot of Lust Stories 2, parted ways over differences in life goals, with Tamannaah reportedly wanting to settle down while Vijay remains focused on his career.Now, with Fatima and Vijay fuelling fresh dating rumours after being spotted together at a Mumbai cafe and sharing photos from the Umrao Jaan screening, Tamannaah’s latest Instagram post has caught fans’ attention.On her Instagram Stories, Tamannaah shared a reflective quote that read, “Design taught me that white space isn’t empty — it’s intention. That not filling every corner is a form of trust. And maybe that’s true for life, too. Not every moment needs to be packed or productive. Some spaces are just meant to breathe.” She added a 💯 emoji, further hinting at her agreement with the sentiment.

Fatima and Vijay’s growing camaraderieAdding fuel to the fire, Fatima recently posted a series of photos from the Umrao Jaan premiere that included two pictures with Vijay Varma. In her caption, she gushed over Rekha’s performance and called the evening surreal, writing, “Her eyes, her stillness, her grace… uff! It’s impossible to look away. I am in love with her ♥️ she is magic.”While fans are connecting the dots—from their shared FTII background to their upcoming film Ul Jalool Ishq, where Fatima and Vijay star opposite each other—Fatima responded to dating rumours during the trailer launch of her film Aap Jaisa Koi. Asked if there was a special someone in her life, she quipped, “No one is there. No good guys. They exist only in films.”With no official word from any of the three actors involved, fans continue to speculate on what’s brewing behind the scenes.
