It’s finally happening — Telugu film stars Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are reportedly engaged. According to media reports, the couple exchanged rings in an intimate ceremony held in Hyderabad on Friday, attended only by close friends and family members.
While neither actor has officially confirmed the news, the development has taken social media by storm, with fans celebrating the long-rumored couple’s milestone.
Rashmika and Vijay’s story goes back to 2017, the year Rashmika ended her engagement with actor Rakshit Shetty. Soon after, she met Vijay on the sets of Geetha Govindam (2018), a romantic comedy that would go on to become a blockbuster and spark widespread speculation about their off-screen chemistry.
The rumors intensified with their next collaboration, Dear Comrade (2019), where their on-screen comfort and emotional depth led fans to believe the connection went beyond professional boundaries.
Over the years, between 2020 and 2022, both actors were frequently seen together — from private dinners and airport sightings to vacations where fans noticed strikingly similar photo backdrops. Rashmika’s presence at Vijay’s family functions further strengthened rumors of a close relationship.
Despite the constant buzz, the duo maintained silence about their personal lives, neither confirming nor denying the speculation. But by 2023, their dynamic seemed more open. During film promotions in 2024, both hinted at being in relationships — though they carefully avoided taking names.
Now, according to a report by the Deccan Chronicle, the engagement ceremony was a private affair, signaling a significant step forward in their relationship. Industry insiders suggest that the couple is planning to tie the knot in February 2026, possibly ahead of the release of their upcoming film directed by Rahul Sankrityan.
From sharing screen space to now sharing life’s milestones, Rashmika and Vijay’s journey has come full circle — a story that began with Geetha Govindam and has evolved into one of Telugu cinema’s most adored real-life romances.
