Vijay Deverakonda confirms relationship amid Rashmika Mandanna rumours

Vijay Deverakonda, the popular star of Liger and Arjun Reddy, has finally addressed the ongoing buzz surrounding his love life. Long linked romantically to co-star Rashmika Mandanna, Vijay recently confirmed that he is in a relationship, though he stopped short of naming names.

In a recent candid chat with Curly Tales, Vijay shared his perspective on love, relationships, and marriage. “I know what it feels like to love and be loved. But I don’t believe in unconditional love—it comes with expectations,” he said. “Everything is over-romanticized these days, and I’m unsure if it’s even okay to expect unconditional love.”

The actor also touched upon his views on marriage, calling it a personal choice. “Marriage shouldn’t interfere with anyone’s career, but I feel it’s often harder for women depending on the profession,” Vijay remarked, while admitting he had previously dated a co-star.

While discussing his dating approach, Vijay revealed he doesn’t rush into relationships. “I don’t go out on dates. I prefer building a strong friendship first,” he shared, adding with a playful tease, “I’m 35. Do you think I’m single?”

The duo, who starred in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, continues to fuel rumours with their public appearances and shared moments. Rashmika’s recent Diwali visit to Vijay’s home, with pictures clicked by his brother Anand, has further amplified the speculation.

Fans are left wondering—are the two Telugu cinema stars more than just friends? Only time will tell.
