After Koffee with Karan fiasco, Vijay Deverakonda holds Rashmika Mandanna close and calls her ‘home’ in Japan vacation pics

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna recently vacationed in Japan with his brother Anand Deverakonda and family.

An appearance on Koffee With Karan after their February wedding was all it took for people to pick apart Vijay Deverakonda, Rashmika Mandanna's marriage. It was the first time fans could get an insight into their relationship. After the episode dropped, the couple received heavy criticism, particularly for the way he behaved towards her. It went to such an extent that the two actors penned a statement on Instagram. Their team also filed a complaint with Hyderabad Cyber Crime authorities over allegedly fake and misleading content about the actors circulating on social media.

About the Koffee with Karan episode

Rashmika and Vijay got secretly engaged in October last year and revealed the news of their marriage only days before their Udaipur wedding. On Koffee With Karan, he remarked that Rashmika proposed to him 100 times over the course of a year before he even considered marrying her. He also showed off the ring he had given her, revealing that he got down on one knee only during their pre-wedding festivities. He stated that he was insulted; many believed that another ring Rashmika wore was her engagement ring, as it was ‘not his style’. His comments sparked backlash on social media.
