Actor Vishnu Vishal has been evasive about his relationship with badminton player Jwala Gutta though pictures of the two of them started making the rounds on social media a few months ago, but now the duo seem ready to let the world know of their fondness for each other. The couple celebrated New Year together, and sharedsome rather intimate pictures, including a small video of Vishnu working out.
The first picture is a selfie of thetwo of them. The second shows the Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu actor kissing Jwala. A few hours before the clock struck 12, Jwala shared a video describing it as the last workout of the year for both of them.In a post, she refers to Vishnu as "My baby."
Vishnu Vishal, whose career soared after he did Raatchasan, had married Rajini, daughter of Natraj,ace actor/director and close friend of Rajinikanth (hence the name), after a four-year relationship.However, the two got a legal separation a year after the case came up in court. Since then, both Vishal and former World Championship Bronze medallist Jwala have often shared pictures of themselves on their Twitter handles.
However, Vishnu had not been ready to come out in the open when this newspaper queried him regarding his relationship with Jwala. "We are just good friends. Since we share common interests and have common friends, we meet and spend time. Nothing more as of now" was all that he was ready to say.But now it looks as if the couple wants to take the relationship to the next level.
On the work front, Vishnu Vishal was put a little out of action early in 2019 after he met with a freak accident during the shooting of his movie Kaadan directed by Prabhu Solomon. However, he bounced back, and is now actively shooting for FIR - Faisal Ibrahim Riaz - with a terrorism backdrop and Jagajaala Killadi. His next is a sports film with Chella Ayyavu of Silukkuvarpatti Singam fame.
For Jwala Gutta 2020 is going to be significant, as she recently opened a training centre called Jwala Gutta Academy of Excellence for young sportspersons. Vishnu has lent his support to this latest endeavour of the Hyderabad based champ and had posted a video about it on his Twitter timeline.
