After years of speculation and persistent dating rumours, actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna are reportedly engaged, according to multiple media sources and confirmation from Vijay’s team. The engagement is said to have taken place on October 3 in a private ceremony attended only by close family members, marking a significant moment for one of Tollywood’s most talked-about pairs.
The couple, who first shared screen space in the 2018 hit Geetha Govindam and later in Dear Comrade (2019), have long been the subject of fan theories and media buzz due to their off-screen chemistry and frequent public appearances together. Despite never publicly confirming their relationship, both actors have hinted in interviews that they were not single, fueling speculation over the years.
Sources close to the actors have revealed that the wedding is being planned for February 2026, although no official statement or photographs from the engagement have been released by either Vijay or Rashmika. The couple’s recent joint appearances — including leading the 43rd India Day Parade in New York and sharing vacation photos from similar locations — have further intensified public interest in their relationship.
Rashmika Mandanna, in past interviews, has spoken about her views on love and companionship, emphasizing the importance of empathy, kindness, and emotional support in a relationship. Her comments have often been interpreted as subtle nods to her bond with Vijay.
On the professional front, Rashmika is gearing up for the release of Thamma, a horror-comedy co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, slated for Diwali 2025. She also stars in Cocktail 2 alongside Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor. Vijay Deverakonda was last seen in Kingdom, a prison thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.
As fans await an official confirmation from the couple, the engagement news has already sparked celebrations across social media, with many hailing it as Tollywood’s most awaited union.
