Rumours about actress Sreeleela being romantically involved with cricketer Tilak Varma have been doing the rounds for some days now. The rumour mill suggests that the two have been dating for a year now. Amid the growing speculations, sources denied the reports. Now, the actor’s mother, Dr Swarnalatha, has shut down these rumours and clarified that Sreeleela is currently focused on her studies.

Dr Swarnalatha spoke to Deccan Chronicle and said, “These rumours are absolutely false and have no truth in them. We do not know how such stories emerge. There is not even an iota of truth in reports claiming that Sreeleela and Tilak Varma have been seeing each other for the past year. It is purely a figment of imagination.”
She also added that her daughter is only focused on her films and studies currently, saying, “She is preparing for her NEET-PG examination scheduled in June. Right now, her concentration is entirely on studies and films. She has another five to six years ahead for such personal matters and is balancing both academics and career very well.”
Rumours linking Sreeleela to Tilak Varma
Rumours caught steam after Dr Swarnalatha was reportedly spotted in the stands during an IPL match between the Mumbai Indians and the Punjab Kings in Dharamsala. Initially, it started as a throwaway rumour on social media, but soon turned into speculation that someone from Sreeleela’s team also attended the match with a ‘Tilak’ jersey on.
Fans later claimed that the two had even reacted to each other’s social media posts, and then unfollowed each other after these rumours spread. To add to the speculations, a video of Suryakumar Yadav teasing Tilak further fanned the flame. In a video, Suryakumar can be heard joking, “Tilak Varma, na? Tilak Varma is in love.”
After rumours began circulating for a couple of days, her team denied the claims, reportedly telling Pinkvilla that the two had never even met. They said, “The rumours surrounding Tilak Varma and Sreeleela are completely baseless and untrue. The two have never even met or spoken to each other. There is absolutely no truth to these speculations, and such fabricated stories should not be circulated without any factual basis.”
