Rashmika Mandanna on engagement rumours with Vijay Deverakonda: "I’ll take your congratulations on all of them"

Rashmika Mandanna has finally broken her silence on the swirling engagement rumours with Vijay Deverakonda, and her playful response has only added more fuel to the speculation. During recent promotions for her upcoming film Thamma, the actress was spotted wearing a sparkling diamond ring, sparking whispers of a secret engagement.

Fans have been closely following Rashmika and Vijay’s relationship for years, ever since their undeniable chemistry lit up the screen in Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). The pair’s easy camaraderie and constant support for each other off-screen have only intensified rumours that they are more than just co-stars.

Over the past two weeks, every public appearance by the two Telugu stars has sent social media into a frenzy. Sharp-eyed fans have pointed out matching engagement rings—Vijay’s a simple yet stylish band, Rashmika’s a large diamond. When Vijay’s team recently hinted at a “special announcement,” the gossip mill went into overdrive.

During a chat with Galatta Plus, Rashmika was congratulated by the interviewer, leaving her momentarily puzzled. Once the journalist clarified that he was referring to her perfume line, he jokingly added if there was “anything else” worth celebrating. Smiling and brushing it off, Rashmika replied, “No, no,” before adding with a laugh, “Actually, there’s quite a lot, because so many things are happening. But I’ll take your congratulations on all of them.”
