Love life
Simbu
In 2014 Simbu moved on from his much publicised relationship with Hansika, which many speculate is because he felt the actress and her mother were very ambitious and didn't want Hansika to settle down in life then.
However, in April 2014 Simbu was back together with Hansika, after their then recent break up, for the shooting Vaalu which had been in the making for a long time.
