Rashmika Mandanna Breaks Silence on Wedding Rumours – “I’d Marry Vijay Deverakonda”
Actor Rashmika Mandanna has once again sparked excitement among fans amid ongoing reports of her engagement to Vijay Deverakonda. Now, new rumours suggest that the much-loved duo could tie the knot in February 2026. During a recent campus interaction with Honest Townhall, Rashmika opened up about her idea of love and the qualities she seeks in her ideal partner — even revealing who she would marry among all the actors she has worked with.
Rashmika on Love and Her Ideal Life Partner
When asked about what she looks for in a life partner, Rashmika shared a thoughtful and heartfelt response.
“My type is honestly someone who is capable of understanding at a deep level. I am not talking in the generic sense. It’s about understanding life from his own perspective — how he perceives situations. I want someone who is open-minded, genuinely nice, and someone who can fight a war with me or for me. If there’s ever a battle against me, I want to know that man will stand by my side. And I’d do the same — I’d take a bullet for him any day. That’s my kind of person.”
Her emotional take on love received applause from the audience, reflecting her strong views on loyalty and emotional connection.
Rashmika’s Fun Confession: “I’d Marry Vijay Deverakonda”
During a light-hearted segment of the event, Rashmika was asked to choose who she would “kill, marry, and date” among all the actors she has worked with. With a laugh, she replied that she would date Naruto, the anime character, and marry Vijay Deverakonda — a response that immediately drew loud cheers from the crowd.
Wedding Preparations Reportedly Underway
While Rashmika and Vijay have not made any official announcements, sources suggest that wedding preparations are already in progress. According to reports, Rashmika recently travelled to Udaipur to scout potential venues for what is described as a “grand celebration.”
A source close to Vijay told India Today that the couple is indeed planning a February 2026 wedding, with arrangements already in motion.
Their Relationship Timeline
Rashmika and Vijay first worked together in the 2018 blockbuster Geetha Govindam, followed by Dear Comrade in 2019. Since then, the two have often been spotted together, sparking dating rumours. Fans have also noticed that the actors frequently post pictures from the same holiday destinations, further fuelling speculation about their relationship.
In 2024, both stars admitted they were “not single” but refrained from revealing names. Later that year, Vijay’s team reportedly confirmed their engagement, and soon after, Rashmika was seen flaunting her ring in a video featuring her dog — much to the delight of fans.
As of now, an official confirmation from the couple is still awaited, but with both stars dropping hints, fans are eagerly watching for what could be one of the most talked-about weddings in 2026.
