What Did Vijay Deverakonda Say Exactly?

Looking back at that time, Vijay also said that he was very clouded by his ambition. The actor admitted that for many years, if anything was not serving the purpose of career and money and growth, it felt like the other person was distracting him from his purpose, and he needed to cut it off.
