After the tremendous success of Pushpa: The Rise, South actress Rashmika Mandanna has become everyone’s favourite. She is a rage across audiences of all age groups. Gearing up to set her foot in Bollywood with the film Goodbye alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Mandanna is on a promotional spree these days. As much as her professional life, her personal life also remains under scrutiny. Rashmika is rumoured to be dating Arjun Reddy star Vijay Deverakonda. During a recent interaction with a leading daily, she opened up on her equation with alleged beau Deverakonda.
Calling the relationship speculations with Vijay adorable, Rashmika stated, “It’s all so cute no. I am like aiyoo babu. It is so cute. See Vijay and I have done so much work together, too early in our career. When we don’t know how the industry is, and suddenly your work with like-minded people, you sort of like become friends, and you have a lot of common friends. I have this gang in Hyderabad, he has this gang in Hyderabad. And we have a lot of mutual friends. It’s like that. It’s so cute when the whole world is like ‘Rashmika and Vijay, that’s cute.”
After having starred in two movies, Dear Comrade and Geetha Govindam, Rashmika shared her wish to collaborate with Vijay again. “I have to work with him soon. If there’s a story for us then we should do it. It’s going to be fun. We are good actors, we won’t disappoint you,” she quoted.
Let us tell you that Rashmika’s love affair with Vijay has been discussed extensively on Karan Johar’s talk show Koffee With Karan. When Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor appeared on the show, they spilt beans about the same and hinted at Vijay’s affection for Rashmika. Later when Vijay himself came on the show with his Liger co-actor Ananya Panday, he shared his feelings for Rashmika and said, “We have done two films together at an early stage in my life. She is a darling and I am fond of her. We are really good friends. We share so much through films, lots of highs and lows. A bond gets created.”
Time and again, Rashmika and Vijay reflected their love for each other openly. But they never admitted to being in a relationship in public. Well, all we can do is wait for an official confirmation on the same.
