Like my meals would’ve felt more wholesome if she were sitting across from me,” he wrote, adding, “Like my workouts would’ve been more fun and less of a punishment if she were doing them with me. Like I needed her - just to feel that sense of home and calm, no matter where I was. So, I made my best friend… my wife. 26.02.2026.”
Rashmika also wrote about how Vijay changed her life, “Vijju I am always short of words to describe the feelings I have for you!! I’ve always told you that!! But you know suddenly all of my achievements, struggles, happiness, sadness, joy, life - everything just makes a lot more sense now - it is because I have you - witnessing it all.. being the biggest part of it all!” She also added, “Let’s have the bestestest life ever together! I love you!” Rashmika’s pictures had more pictures of Vijay, including one of him riding a horse.
