They reportedly fell in love nearly two years ago, and by last year, their relationship had become the talk of film circles.
But lately, the rumoured couple has gone unusually silent, sparking fresh speculation about the status of their romance.
The young actor, who comes from a reputed film family, made a sensational debut with his first film.
However, the success streak did not continue, as his later films failed to impress at the box office, putting his career in a difficult phase.
Meanwhile, the actress, a Telugu girl from Andhra Pradesh, has managed to build a decent presence in both Telugu and Tamil cinema, but is still waiting for a major breakthrough into the top league.
Industry buzz says the two grew close through a popular actress-producer, who is related to the actor. Their friendship reportedly blossomed into romance, and the duo were often said to have vacationed abroad together.
Interestingly, the actress has recently been sharing pictures from her international trips that appear to be solo vacations, leading to fresh gossip in industry circles.
Are the two taking things slowly before making a big decision about their future, or are they simply trying to keep their relationship away from the spotlight for now? Only time will tell.
