Amidst escalating whispers that she and her long-time rumored beau, Vijay Deverakonda, are set to tie the knot in 2026, actor Rashmika Mandanna has finally broken her silence, choosing a careful non-committal stance that keeps the highly anticipated wedding buzz alive.
The speculation has been amplified since reports surfaced that the couple held a private engagement ceremony in Hyderabad in October this year, a detail reportedly confirmed by Vijay’s team.
Neither Confirm Nor Deny
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Rashmika was directly asked about the marriage rumours. The actor stated she intends to take her time before sharing any personal news with the media or her fans.
“I wouldn’t like to confirm or deny the marriage. I will just say when it’s to be spoken about, we shall,” Rashmika stated, preferring to let the public wait for an official announcement.
This statement comes at a time when sources close to the actors suggest preparations are already in full swing. Reports last month even claimed that Rashmika had conducted a venue recce in Udaipur for what is expected to be a “grand celebration” scheduled for February 2026.
Years of Speculation and Subtle Hints
Rashmika and Vijay Deverakonda have been at the center of fan speculation since their on-screen chemistry captivated audiences in the films Geetha Govindam (2018) and Dear Comrade (2019). Despite their private nature, their relationship has been heavily scrutinized over the years, with eagle-eyed fans often spotting them on joint vacations and sharing photos from the same locations.
While the two have consistently kept their relationship details guarded, they had both confirmed in 2024 that they were “not single” but refrained from naming their partners.
The confirmation of their October engagement, alongside Vijay’s team revealing a February 2026 wedding date, marks the most significant development in their closely watched bond, even as fans eagerly await a direct, personal announcement from the celebrity couple themselves.
