About Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda’s relationship

Rashmika first crossed paths with Vijay Deverakonda on the sets of Geetha Govindam. The film became a huge hit, and their chemistry was loved by audiences. They worked together again in the 2019 film Dear Comrade. Their off-screen bond fuelled rumours of a real-life romance between them. Soon, they were spotted together several times, and fans even noticed identical backgrounds in their Instagram posts. Rashmika’s appearances at Vijay’s family gatherings further added fuel to the rumours.

In October this year, they got engaged in a private ceremony attended by only close friends and family. While they have remained tight-lipped about it since then, Vijay’s affection towards Rashmika at an event for The Girlfriend caught everyone’s attention. Now, a source close to the couple has confirmed to HT, "Rashmika and Vijay’s wedding is planned to take place on February 26 at a palace in Udaipur. They have finalised one of the heritage properties. Much like their engagement, the plan is to keep the wedding as intimate as possible with only their loved ones in attendance.”
