Rashmika Mandanna Confirms Relationship, Fans Speculate ‘Partner’ Reference to Vijay Deverakonda

Rashmika Mandanna has long been speculated to be dating Vijay Deverakonda, but neither star has officially confirmed their relationship—until now. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Rashmika shared that she is indeed in a relationship, though she refrained from naming her partner.

When discussing her happy place, Rashmika revealed, “Home is my happy place. It makes me feel anchored, rooted, and reminds me that success can come and go, but home is forever. I work from that space, always keeping my personal life as a daughter, sister, and partner close to my heart. I guard it with my life.”

On the qualities she finds attractive in a man, Rashmika shared, “They say eyes are the window to one’s soul, and I believe that. I’m drawn to people with a smiley face, and someone who shows respect to others, no matter who they are.”

Earlier, Vijay Deverakonda confirmed he is in a relationship during an interview with Curly Tales. He humorously commented, “I am 35 years old; you think I will be single?” He further added that he would disclose details about his love life only when the time feels right, resisting any external pressure.

Rashmika’s fans can look forward to her next project, Chhaava, a historical action drama directed by Laxman Utekar. The movie, based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, features Vicky Kaushal in the lead role, with Akshaye Khanna portraying Emperor Aurangzeb. Set for release on February 14, the film promises to be an exciting cinematic experience.
