What fans have been speculating about for years is now official — actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are engaged. Rumours of the couple’s relationship have swirled since their first collaboration in Geetha Govindam (2018) and continued after Dear Comrade (2019), making them one of the most talked-about duos in Indian cinema. On Saturday morning, Vijay’s team confirmed the engagement to Hindustan Times, announcing that the couple will tie the knot in February 2026, though further details remain under wraps.
Neither Rashmika nor Vijay have made a public announcement about the engagement, adding to the air of mystery around their relationship. Over the years, the pair have been frequently spotted together — from leading the 43rd India Day Parade in New York to attending Bharat Beyond Borders. In 2024, they admitted they were not single but declined to name their partners, and a recent sighting of them leaving an airport in the same car intensified rumours that they were ready to formalise their relationship.
Their journey from co-stars to life partners has been followed closely by fans, with each public appearance adding to their story. The engagement now marks a milestone in what has been a relationship that blended on-screen magic with genuine off-screen affection.
Professionally, Rashmika continues to expand her repertoire. Fresh from her role in Kuberaa alongside Dhanush and Nagarjuna, she will next be seen in Maddock’s Thamma, a horror-comedy featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Paresh Rawal, slated for Diwali 2025. She also has Cocktail 2 with Kriti Sanon and Shahid Kapoor, Rahul Ravindran’s The Girlfriend, and Rawindra Pulle’s Mysaa in her pipeline.
Vijay Deverakonda, meanwhile, recently starred in Kingdom, sharing the screen with Satyadev and Bhagyashree Borse.
As Rashmika and Vijay prepare for their wedding in 2026, fans eagerly await more glimpses into their shared journey — a story of love that began on the silver screen and is now unfolding in real life.
