Rashmika Mandanna, who is ruling with the blockbuster successes in Telugu, Bollywood, and Kannada, keeps her personal life private, but the eagle-eyed fans have spotted clues of Rashmika and Vijay Deverakonda dating on social media.

Additionally, an invitation card for Rashmika and Vijay’s wedding reception is swirling around the internet. The rumoured couple are set to tie the knot on February 26, 2026, in Udaipur and will have their reception on March 3 in Hyderabad.

The extent to which Rashmika and Vijay's reported romance is spoken about and captivates people virtually completely disregards the previous course of either couple's romantic lives in the public view.

However, very few fans know that Rashmika was previously engaged to Kannada actor Rakshit Shetty, but things didn’t work out between the duo.

Rashmika and Rakshit met on the set of their 2016 Kannada film, Kirik Party.

In July 2017, the two developed a romantic relationship that was strong enough to result in a formal engagement within a year. This occasion is the source of the now-resurfaced viral film, in which the colour-coordinated couple is seen exchanging rings while cutting into a large cake in front of friends and family. Rakshit was 34, and Rashmika was 21 when they got engaged.

However, it became clear that things did not work out over the course of the following year, and by September 2018, the engagement had been called off. They had never revealed the reason for their split.

In reality, Rashmika and Rakshit continue to have very friendly relations.

In a previous interview with the Indian Express, Rakshit disclosed that he and Rashmika always send each other well wishes before a movie's premiere and stay in touch on important dates like birthdays. He said, “She always had big dreams. She is achieving it. She should be given credit for that.”
