South Indian stars Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda appear to have quietly confirmed their engagement through subtle social media posts, delighting fans who have followed their rumored romance for years.
Days after reports surfaced about a private engagement ceremony in Hyderabad, Rashmika shared a video on her Instagram that seemingly confirmed the news. Sitting casually on the floor with her pet dog Aura, the actress was seen wearing a sparkling diamond ring on her finger — a detail that instantly caught fans’ attention.
The video featured the song Rahein Na Rahein Hum from her upcoming film Thamma. Rashmika captioned the post, “This was the first song I heard from the film while shooting, and still… I’m in love with this songgg. Also, can we talk about Aura vibing with meee? Imagine she knew that the girl on the screen is me… she would be so confused! I wish she could talk ya! Or rather sing this song!!”
While the caption focused on her film, fans quickly shifted their attention to the dazzling ring. Comments flooded in, with one user writing, “You posted this to show your engagement ring, not the song,” while another said, “And this is how she confirms.” Many fans celebrated the moment, congratulating the couple and calling it “the confirmation we’ve all been waiting for.”
Adding to the excitement, Vijay Deverakonda was recently spotted at Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Maha Samadhi in Puttaparthi, wearing what appeared to be his engagement ring. His public relations officer shared a video of the visit on X, writing: “#VijayDeverakonda is at Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Maha Samadhi in Puttaparthi to seek divine blessings.”
According to reports from sources close to the couple, the two got engaged in a private ceremony attended by close friends and family members. They are expected to marry in February 2026, marking one of the most anticipated celebrity weddings in the Indian film industry.
Rashmika and Vijay’s connection dates back to their popular on-screen pairings in Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). Their undeniable chemistry fueled dating rumors for years, with fans often noticing matching posts and similar travel destinations on their social media.
In past interviews, both stars hinted at being in a relationship but stopped short of naming each other. Fans now view those moments as subtle acknowledgments of their bond.
Professionally, Rashmika Mandanna continues to balance major Bollywood and South Indian projects. Her upcoming film Thamma — a horror-comedy by Maddock Films — stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, with a Diwali 2025 release planned. She is also working on Cocktail 2 alongside Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor, as well as The Girlfriend and Mysaa.
Meanwhile, Vijay Deverakonda was last seen in Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and produced by Sithara Entertainments. The film, co-starring Satyadev and Bhagyashree Borse, earned praise for his performance and solidified his position as one of Telugu cinema’s leading stars.
Following Rashmika’s video, social media has been buzzing with love and congratulations. Fans have flooded X, Instagram, and fan pages with celebratory posts, calling it “the happiest news of the year.”
Though the couple has yet to make an official statement, their quiet gestures and matching rings seem to have said everything fans needed to hear.
