What Vijay Deverakonda Said
The actor said, as reported by India Today, "Next time I come, I'd like to go around and see her childhood and life here. This is the third time I am here. The first time was before I even knew her, with my school friends - Coorg was our first holiday destination. I found out later that I had stayed in one of her friend's house (who was not there at the event)."
He added, "I've become so fond of this place, such a beautiful place. I always thought that women from here (Kodagu) are super beautiful, even before I met her. I think Coorgi women are very beautiful, and I'm married to one, and I'm very happy. Lovely meeting and seeing you all here."
