For years, Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have sparked dating rumors, but the pair have always remained tight-lipped about their relationship status. However, during a recent promotional interview, Vijay seemed to let down his guard, dropping a major hint about his connection with Rashmika.
The actor was in Mumbai to promote his song Sahiba with co-star Radhikka Madan, and as expected, the conversation quickly turned to his personal life. When asked about his relationship status at 35, Vijay responded with a playful yet significant remark: “I am 35 years old; you think I will be single?” His cryptic response immediately got fans talking, suggesting that Vijay might not be as single as many believed.
The actor was then asked whether he had ever dated a co-star, to which he answered affirmatively, subtly referencing his past on-screen chemistry with Rashmika in the popular films Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade. The pair have often been spotted together, going on vacations and spending time with each other’s families, fueling the rumors of their off-screen romance.
Vijay also shared his perspective on love during the interview. He revealed, “I know what it feels like to be loved, and I know what it is to love. I don’t know unconditional love because my love comes with expectations, so clearly my love isn’t unconditional.” His thoughtful comments on love being “over-romanticized” reflect a more introspective side of the actor, who has been known for his confident and sometimes bold persona.
While Vijay’s responses don’t outright confirm the relationship, they certainly hint at a deeper connection with Rashmika. The couple’s chemistry both on and off the screen has always been undeniable, and it seems that fans are now more convinced than ever that there’s something special between them.
In terms of their professional lives, Vijay is gearing up for his next film, though details about the project remain under wraps. Recently, he has been receiving praise for his romantic track Sahiba with Radhikka Madan, which has resonated well with audiences. Meanwhile, Rashmika is preparing for the release of Pushpa 2: The Rule, where she will reprise her role as Srivalli alongside Allu Arjun.
As the two stars continue to dominate both the film industry and the hearts of their fans, it remains to be seen whether they’ll open up more about their relationship in the future. For now, their rumored romance remains one of the most talked-about topics in the industry.
