Vijay Deverakonda Clarifies Engagement Rumors with Rashmika Mandanna

HYDERABAD: Rumors have been swirling that actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are set to get engaged in February, creating excitement among fans. However, Vijay addressed these speculations in his trademark laidback style during an interview with Lifestyle Asia.

Dismissing the engagement rumors, Vijay stated, “I’m not getting engaged or married in February. It feels like the press wants to get me married every two years. I hear this rumor every year. They’re just walking around waiting to catch me and get me married.”

Vijay Deverakonda kept the response light-hearted and did not delve further into the topic; instead, he focused on his work.

Vijay and Rashmika have shared the screen in two films, "Geetha Govindam" (2018) and "Dear Comrade" (2019). While the former was a massive box office success, the latter received positive reviews and found its audience.

Despite their on-screen chemistry, the duo has consistently maintained that they are 'just friends' and have downplayed questions about their personal life.

The actors, known for their off-screen bond, have often been spotted on vacations together, although they refrain from sharing pictures. While Vijay and Rashmika continue to dismiss rumors, their close relationship off-screen remains a topic of interest among fans.
