Ritu Varma is in serious relationship with Vaishanv Tej?

Ritu Varma has always been private about her personal life, choosing to keep her relationships away from the public eye. Unlike many celebrities, she has never been embroiled in major controversies or publicized affairs. While there have been occasional speculations about her dating co-stars, she has never confirmed any romantic involvement. In interviews, she has consistently stated that her primary focus is on her career and that she prefers to keep her personal matters discreet. 

However, recent rumors suggest that Ritu Varma is in a relationship with young Telugu actor Vaishnav Tej. Coming from a prominent film family, Vaishnav Tej made an impressive debut with Uppena but has struggled to replicate that success, with his subsequent films failing at the box office. He has not signed any major projects recently, leading to speculation about his career choices. He recently spotted Ritu Varma at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, adding to the buzz, and their pictures quickly went viral.

How did they meet?

Interestingly, Ritu and Vaishnav have never worked together on a film, raising curiosity about how they crossed paths. Reports suggest that Niharika Konidela, Vaishnav’s cousin and a close friend of Ritu, played matchmaker and introduced them. Their growing bond has sparked interest among fans, but neither Ritu nor Vaishnav has made any official statement about their relationship.

Despite the ongoing speculation, Ritu Varma remains focused on her acting career, continuing to impress audiences with her performances. Whether or not the rumors are true, she continues to be admired for her talent, grace, and ability to navigate the film industry on her terms.

Ritu Varma: Eventful career

Ritu Varma’s breakthrough role was Pelli Choopulu (2016), which established her as a prominent actress in the Telugu industry. The film, directed by Tharun Bhascker, became a massive success and won a National Award, with Ritu receiving widespread praise for her natural performance. Following this, she continued to make a mark with critically acclaimed films like Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal (2020), Tuck Jagadish (2021), and Varudu Kaavalenu (2021), showcasing her versatility across different genres. She recently appeared in Swag (2024) and Mazaka (2025), both of which flopped miserably.

Despite flops, she is still getting offers.

Ritu has successfully transitioned into Tamil cinema as well. She has worked with renowned directors and actors, building a solid reputation as an actress who balances commercial and content-driven films.
