Reports across various media outlets say that Rashmika and Vijay got engaged in a private ceremony at Vijay's Hyderabad residence on 3 October 2025, which was attended only by their families and close friends.

The whispers soon started that the couple is eyeing February 26, 2026, for a destination wedding, reportedly in a palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Some reports also suggest that the wedding will have a blend of South-Indian traditions with Rajasthani cultural elements to represent both actors.

What Rashmika Has Actually Said

During a recent interview with a media house, when asked about the rumours of her wedding, Rashmika neither confirmed nor denied anything. She said, "I wouldn't like to confirm or deny the marriage. When it is to be spoken about, we shall."

On maintaining privacy, especially between her work and personal space, she added that at home, she prefers to disconnect from work: "At home, I'm at home."

The story of Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda goes way back to their early days in the Telugu film industry when they first worked together on Geetha Govindam (2018). The massive success of that film not only made them one of the most loved on-screen pairs but also sparked the beginning of a quiet, steady friendship off camera. The easy chemistry continued in Dear Comrade, released in 2019, where long shooting schedules and emotional scenes brought them even closer.

Over the years, they have been seen on vacation at the same places, attending festivals with each other's families, and constantly visiting and supporting each other's projects, even though neither has ever "officially" named the relationship.

At the success event of her latest film, Rashmika openly praised Vijay's support and called him a 'blessing,' a gesture that reignited fans' hopes.

She has also talked about the qualities she looks for in a life partner: deep understanding, loyalty, and someone who stands by you. In a light-hearted session, she had even quipped that she would marry Vijay if she had to pick.

Why This Rumour Is Still Lingering And How to Treat It

Both stars have kept a 'wait-and-see' attitude, neither confirming nor denying the rumours. This careful response by them has kept their fans guessing.

In Bollywood (and especially South cinema), rumour mills move fast, and often build on social media sightings, ring photos, or public statements taken out of context.
Until there's a confirmed statement from either family or an official post from their PR teams, these remain highly plausible rumours, not confirmed facts.
