Vasishta Simha and Hariprriya confirm their relationship status with picture captioned ‘Us’

Over the last few days, one of the most discussed topics in Kannada cinema circles has been the relationship status of actors Vasishta N Simha and Hariprriya. The duo met during the making of the Evaru remake Yada Yadahi, which also stars Diganth, had bonded on set and were serious about their relationship, which became apparent only when Hariprriya posted a video of her getting her nose pierced in a traditional ceremony.

Eagle-eyed netizens spotted that Vasishta was with her through the process, even marking the exact spot for the piercing and then consoling her as she fought tears. Hariprriya and Vasishta did not even respond to the rumours even after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the Bengaluru airport.

Last evening, pictures from their engagement began to do the rounds on social media, following which first Hariprriya and then Vasishta put a post with an image of a lion cub cradling a baby, with her message reading, “Darling, I feel like a baby when in your arms," while he wrote, “I will always be your shadow”.

And then, today came the confirmation. Along with a picture of the duo captioned ‘Us’ from sandy Dubai, apparently, where they’d gone for pre-wedding shopping, they debuted their hashtag too, #Simhapriya. Hariprriya and Vasishta are said to be gearing up for an early 2023 wedding. The actress is currently on a break from films, which she had said was to focus on family. Her film Lagaam with Upendra is on hold, as the latter is busy with his own directorial and with Rishab Shetty focusing on Kantara 2, Bell Bottom 2 is also unlikely to take off anytime soon. Her next release will likely be the art-house film Thayi Kastoor Gandhi, alongside Kishore. She hasn’t signed anything new in the recent past. Vasishta has a film called Love Li ready for release.
