New Delhi: Actor Rashmika Mandanna recently found herself at the centre of fresh wedding speculation after a light-hearted interaction with paparazzi at the Mumbai airport went viral on social media. The actress, who is often in the news for her rumoured relationship with Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda, was seen blushing and laughing when photographers cheekily asked her about inviting them to her wedding.
The moment unfolded on Friday night when Rashmika was spotted by shutterbugs while heading out of Mumbai. In a video now widely circulated online, a paparazzo can be heard asking her in Hindi, “Hume invite nahi kar rahe aap?” (Aren’t you inviting us?). Clearly caught off guard, Rashmika smiled, blushed and pretended to be confused. “Kis baat ke liye?” she replied, laughing as she tried to dodge the question.
When the paparazzo persisted, saying that even she knew what he was referring to, the actress cleverly changed the topic. “Film release abhi toh… kuch karna padega,” she said, hinting at upcoming professional commitments and swiftly steering the conversation away from her personal life. The playful exchange has since delighted fans, many of whom praised her for handling the situation with grace and humour.
Wedding rumours refuse to die down
Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have long been the subject of dating rumours, although neither actor has publicly confirmed their relationship. However, their frequent appearances at the same locations, subtle social media hints and warm off-screen camaraderie have continued to fuel speculation.
According to reports doing the rounds, the rumoured couple allegedly got engaged in a private ceremony in October 2025, attended only by close family members. While there has been no official confirmation from either side, a recent report by Hindustan Times claimed that the wedding could take place on February 26, 2026.
The report further stated that the ceremony is likely to be held at a heritage palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan. If the reports are to be believed, the wedding will be an intimate affair, with no celebrity guests on the invite list. An insider was quoted as saying, “Rashmika and Vijay’s wedding is planned at one of Udaipur’s heritage palaces. Much like their engagement, the ceremony will be a close-knit affair with only their loved ones in attendance.”
Private by choice, public by curiosity
Despite being two of the most popular actors in Indian cinema today, both Rashmika and Vijay have consistently chosen to keep their personal lives away from the spotlight. Rashmika, in particular, has often spoken about maintaining boundaries between her work and private space, even as she remains highly active and engaging on social media.
The airport video once again highlighted the fine balance she tries to strike—acknowledging the curiosity around her life without revealing anything concrete. Fans online were quick to comment on her reaction, with many calling it “adorable” and others interpreting her blush as a sign that wedding bells may indeed be around the corner.
Rome vacation adds fuel to speculation
Adding to the rumours, Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda were reportedly in Rome together to ring in the New Year. While neither actor shared pictures together or explicitly mentioned travelling as a couple, eagle-eyed fans noticed that both posted photos from the same locations around the same time.
The similarities did not go unnoticed, and social media users were quick to connect the dots, concluding that the two stars were indeed holidaying together. Though the actors remained silent on the matter, the Rome trip further strengthened belief among fans that the duo share a close personal bond.
On-screen reunion keeps fans excited
Apart from their off-screen equation, Rashmika and Vijay are also set to reunite on screen after seven years. Their upcoming film, initially referred to as VD14, has now been officially titled Ranabaali. The announcement itself generated massive buzz, given the popularity of their earlier collaboration Dear Comrade.
The film’s release date has already been revealed, and fans are eagerly awaiting to see the pair share screen space once again. Many believe that their strong on-screen chemistry is one of the key reasons their real-life relationship rumours have remained so persistent over the years.
Conclusion
While Rashmika Mandanna’s blushing airport moment has once again brought her rumoured wedding with Vijay Deverakonda into the spotlight, there is still no official word from the actors themselves. For now, the speculation continues to thrive on fan theories, viral videos and unconfirmed reports. Until either Rashmika or Vijay chooses to make an announcement, the gossip mill is likely to keep churning—much to the delight of their admirers across the country.
