Amidst swirling wedding rumors, Rashmika Mandanna's recent comments regarding Vijay Deverakonda have ignited social media, sending fans into a frenzy. The actress, while promoting her latest film "The Girlfriend," openly expressed her admiration for Deverakonda and seemingly confirmed her willingness to marry him.
The buzz began when reports surfaced about the couple's alleged engagement in October 2025, supposedly a private affair held in Hyderabad. While neither Mandanna nor Deverakonda initially confirmed the news directly, Deverakonda's team informed Hindustan Times of the engagement. Furthermore, Mandanna has been spotted wearing what appears to be an engagement ring.
Adding fuel to the fire, rumors of a February 2026 wedding have been circulating, with Udaipur, Rajasthan, being considered as a potential venue for a "royal wedding". Sources suggest the wedding will be a blend of South Indian and Rajasthani customs. However, neither actor has officially confirmed the wedding date or location.
At a recent "Honest Townhall" event, Mandanna was asked about her ideal partner and her response has been interpreted as a clear nod to Deverakonda. She emphasized the importance of deep understanding, genuine kindness, and loyalty, stating she desires someone "who can fight a war with me, or for me". "If there is war against me tomorrow, I know that man will fight with me. I will do the same. I will take a bullet for him any day. That is my kind of person," she declared.
During a playful segment at the same event, Mandanna was asked to choose who she would "kill, marry, or date" among her co-stars. To the delight of the audience, she responded, "Yes, I will marry Vijay," adding that she would date Naruto, the anime character.
Mandanna and Deverakonda have been linked since their collaboration in the 2018 film "Geetha Govindam," followed by "Dear Comrade" in 2019. Despite the actors remaining tight-lipped about their relationship, fans have noted their numerous joint vacations and subtly matching social media posts over the years. Earlier in 2025, both actors hinted they were "not single" but refrained from naming each other.
As the wedding rumors gain momentum, fans eagerly await an official announcement from the couple. The possibility of a February 2026 wedding continues to generate excitement and speculation, solidifying Mandanna and Deverakonda's status as one of the most beloved rumored couples in Indian cinema.
