Dubai: Actress Rashmika Mandanna has once again set social media buzzing after she was spotted wearing a ring on that finger during a recent public appearance in Dubai. The photographs and videos that quickly surfaced online show the actress donning a simple band on her ring finger, instantly fuelling speculation about a possible engagement to her long-rumoured beau, Vijay Deverakonda.
Ring sparks speculation
Known for her love of statement rings, Rashmika was seen keeping her style minimal with the subtle band as she made her way to her car and later while entering her hotel. The sighting was enough to send rumour mills into overdrive, with fans speculating that Vijay may have quietly popped the question.
Adding to the frenzy, eagle-eyed netizens noted that the actress later appeared at the Dubai event without the ring, raising further curiosity.
Vijay and Rashmika’s growing closeness
Rashmika and Vijay Deverakonda have long been rumoured to be more than just friends, though neither has confirmed the relationship publicly. The speculation intensified last month when the duo was spotted holding hands as Grand Marshals at the India Day Parade in New York City.
The pair has also been seen together at private gatherings, airport runs, and public events, though they have continued to maintain silence on their relationship status.
Fans react online
Following the latest sighting, social media platforms were flooded with reactions from fans. While some congratulated the alleged couple, others cautioned against reading too much into Rashmika’s jewellery choices, noting her history of experimenting with rings.
One fan wrote, “If this is true, it’s the best news of 2025!” while another commented, “She always plays with our hearts, wearing rings and removing them. Only Rashmika knows the truth.”
What’s next?
While Rashmika continues to enjoy her Bollywood journey with multiple projects lined up, Vijay Deverakonda is equally busy with upcoming Telugu blockbusters. Whether the ring is simply another fashion accessory or a symbol of something more remains to be seen, but for now, it has certainly kept fans talking.
