It is heard that during the making of the Tamil film ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’, the Tamil version of the film ‘Ye Maaya Chesave’, Uma used to accompany Trisha to the sets. It is heard that Gautham liked the company of Uma and started spending time with her, going for a walk etc.
Some also say that not much preference was being given for Trisha and it is the wisdom and knowledge of Uma that has smitten Gautham. But all of them have vouched that it is one of those intellectual fondness and there is nothing romantic or perverted between them both. But gossip mills started spinning something else.
