Rashmika Mandanna, one of South India’s most popular actors, has finally confirmed that she is in a relationship, though she stopped short of naming her partner. This revelation has reignited speculation among fans that she is dating actor Vijay Deverakonda, with whom she has long been linked.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Rashmika discussed her happy place, her views on love, and the qualities she admires in a partner. She referred to herself as “just a partner” while talking about her personal life, stating, “Home is my happy place. It makes me feel anchored… I really respect that personal life that I have. Right now, I am living in the best of both worlds, but I am someone who will guard this personal life with my own life.”
When asked about the qualities she finds attractive in a man, Rashmika said, “They say eyes are the window to one’s soul. I believe in that. I keep smiling, so I am drawn to people who have a smiley face. And, of course, someone who respects people around them, no matter who they are.”
Fans Speculate About Vijay Deverakonda
The confirmation has led fans to speculate that Rashmika is referring to Vijay Deverakonda. The two actors have been rumored to be in a relationship for years, though neither has confirmed it publicly. Their close bond and frequent public appearances together have fueled these rumors.
Last year, Rashmika celebrated Diwali with Vijay’s family and was seen accompanying them to watch Pushpa 2: The Rule. Vijay, in an earlier interview with Curly Tales, also hinted at being in a relationship. He remarked, “I am 35 years old; you think I will be single?” However, he added that he would share details about his love life only when the time felt right and would not disclose anything under external pressure.
Rashmika Mandanna’s Upcoming Film
On the professional front, Rashmika Mandanna is gearing up for her next film, Chhaava, a historical action drama directed by Laxman Utekar. The film is based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal, and also features Akshaye Khanna as Emperor Aurangzeb. Chhaava is scheduled to hit cinemas on February 14.
As Rashmika continues to focus on her career while keeping her personal life private, fans eagerly await further updates from the actor about her relationship and upcoming projects.
