From Reel to Real: The Evolution of Vijay and Rashmika’s Relationship
Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna’s love story has been one of Tollywood’s most talked-about yet private romances. The pair first shared screen space in the 2018 romantic comedy Geetha Govindam, where their crackling chemistry instantly won hearts. They reunited in 2019’s Dear Comrade — a film that showcased their emotional depth and on-screen intensity.
Since then, fans have passionately shipped them as “Vijashmika” or “Kondannaa,” hoping their reel-life connection would turn real. While both actors often dismissed dating rumours and maintained they were “just friends,” the affection between them was hard to miss.
Rashmika’s Journey and Vijay’s Steady Support
Before meeting Vijay, Rashmika Mandanna was engaged to Kannada actor Rakshit Shetty in 2018. However, the engagement ended due to reported incompatibility, and Rashmika soon focused entirely on her career.
Meanwhile, Vijay Deverakonda’s name was linked with several actresses, but he always maintained a dignified silence about his personal life. Over the years, their mutual admiration, public appearances, and cryptic social media posts hinted at a deeper bond growing behind the scenes.
Their joint outings, matching vacation pictures, and public support for each other’s projects subtly confirmed that this was more than just friendship. And now, with the engagement confirmed, fans finally have the love story they’ve been rooting for.
The Engagement and Upcoming Wedding
In October 2025, Vijay’s team officially confirmed the couple’s engagement, revealing that the ceremony was held privately in the presence of close family and friends. While neither Vijay nor Rashmika has publicly spoken about the engagement, their teams have confirmed that the couple plans to tie the knot in February next year.
Sources suggest the wedding will be an intimate yet grand celebration, blending Telugu and Coorg traditions, followed by a star-studded reception attended by top names from the film industry.
Fans Await an Official Announcement
Though the couple continues to maintain privacy, the recent PDA moment has given fans hope that Vijay and Rashmika may soon speak openly about their relationship. With Rashmika currently riding high on the success of The Girlfriend and Vijay gearing up for his next action-packed release, both are at the peak of their careers — making their union one of Tollywood’s most awaited events.
Industry insiders believe that their pairing could even open doors for a potential third film collaboration, reigniting their unbeatable on-screen charm for audiences worldwide.
