After years of keeping their relationship under wraps and leaving their fans guessing, Telugu stars Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi are finally getting engaged on Friday, June 9, at the former’s residence. The couple met each other for the first time in 2017 on the sets of the film Mister. During the film’s shooting, the couple grew close.
