People are talking about Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna again, this time because of a big personal update. They are the most popular on-screen couple in Telugu films. Recent sources say that the pair got engaged on Friday in a secret ceremony with close friends and family. If the reports are true, the couple will get married in February 2026. But Rashmika and Vijay have not yet made an official statement and have not said anything.

A link that made people guess forever

For years, fans have guessed that there is more to the performers' connection than just work chemistry. Their strong connection, regular public appearances, and social media hints have long fueled rumors of a romance growing behind the scenes.

The two initially appeared together on screen in the hit movies Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). Their chemistry on screen was amazing. Since then, fans have called them one of Tollywood's most popular couples.

From hints about vacations to public events

When both actors posted pictures from the same places, such as Oman (Salalah) and the Maldives, around the same time, the dating allegations got even stronger. Fans instantly figured out that the two were on vacation together when they saw the same backgrounds.
