Rashmika and Vijay acted together in Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). Rumours of the co-stars dating began soon after they worked together, though they remained mum.

While in 2024, both actors confirmed they weren’t single, they still did not name each other.

In October, during Dasara, Vijay and Rashmika had a private engagement in Hyderabad, as confirmed by his team to HT. While the couple still hasn’t spoken about it in public, they’ve both been spotted wearing rings. They are expected to tie the knot next February, although an official confirmation is pending.
