Rashmika Mandanna Blushes Over Engagement Rumours with Vijay Deverakonda

After reports surfaced of a secret engagement to Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika Mandanna gave a ‘cute’ but non-committal response when congratulated during an interview, leaving fans buzzing over her large diamond ring.

October 17, 2025: Dating rumours surrounding Telugu stars Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda reached a fever pitch this month after reports emerged that the beloved couple had secretly exchanged rings. Fans have been eagerly scrutinizing the actors’ every public appearance, especially after the duo were spotted wearing rings—Vijay with a stylish band and Rashmika with a noticeable diamond.

The engagement buzz intensified during the promotional tour for Rashmika’s upcoming horror-romantic comedy film, Thamma, where she was subtly yet directly congratulated by an interviewer.

Rashmika’s Priceless Reaction

In a viral clip from an interview with Galatta Plus, the journalist extended congratulations to the actress. Rashmika, initially confused, visibly smiled when the interviewer clarified he was referring to her new perfume line, then quickly pivoted: “But is there anything else?”

Handling the highly-speculated question with grace and a dose of coyness, Rashmika responded, “No, no.” However, she quickly added a playful disclaimer: “Actually, there’s quite a lot, because there’s so many things happening. But I’ll take your congratulations on them all.”

Her cute reaction has delighted the internet, with fans flooding social media with comments: “Look at her reaction kitne awesome yaaarr 😍❤️❤️😂,” wrote one user, while another dubbed her a “Cutie😂😍😍.” An impatient fan, however, questioned, “@rashmika_mandanna ….why hiding it …when the whole world knows about it ….”

The Rings and The Rumours

The secret engagement reports were first fuelled by sources close to Vijay Deverakonda’s team, claiming the private ceremony took place at his Hyderabad residence earlier this month. The rumours were further validated by a recent Instagram video where eagle-eyed netizens spotted the giant diamond on Rashmika’s left ring finger while she was playing with her dog. Vijay was also later seen sporting a ring.

Rashmika and Vijay, whose chemistry first captivated audiences in Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019), have consistently maintained privacy about their personal lives despite years of dating speculation.

According to industry buzz, the star couple is now planning to tie the knot in February next year. Meanwhile, Rashmika is busy promoting Thamma, a horror-comedy co-starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, which is slated for release on October 21.
