Rumours of a secret engagement between Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda have been swirling for weeks — and now, a candid video showing Rashmika being congratulated for it has set the internet ablaze. The Thamma actor’s smile and offhand response to the congratulatory comment instantly became a talking point, with fans parsing every word.
The Viral Moment
During a promotional interview for her upcoming film Thamma, Rashmika was playfully congratulated by the interviewer. At first, she looked taken aback and responded, “No, no.” He then clarified that he was referring to congratulations on her perfume line, before adding, “But there’s more — there’s so many things happening.” Caught off guard, Rashmika slowly smiled and accepted the congratulations on “all of them.”
The video clip quickly spread across social media platforms, with netizens reacting to her effortless charm. Some praised her for the subtle nod, others teased her coyness. Comments ranged from “Cutie” to “Why are you hiding it when everyone knows?” Many drew attention to her ring-bearing hand, saying the “whole world knows.”

The Rashmika Mandanna Engagement Buzz
The speculation over Rashmika and Vijay’s relationship isn’t new — fans have been watching for signs of an official confirmation for years. The two first starred together in Geetha Govindam (2018), where their on-screen chemistry drew strong audience attention. They later re-paired in Dear Comrade, further fueling rumors of a romantic pairing.

Recently, Vijay’s team reportedly confirmed that the couple got engaged privately this month. In public appearances since then, both have been spotted wearing what look like engagement rings: Vijay’s simple band and Rashmika’s sizable diamond. At the Sri Sathya Sai Baba Maha Samadhi event in Puttaparthi with his family, netizens zeroed in on the ring on his finger. A few days later, Rashmika shared a video in which her diamond ring stole the spotlight.
Despite all the speculation, the two have remained tightlipped about the details. The latest viral clip of Rashmika acknowledging congratulations — without outright confirming anything — has become their confirmation by silence, and fans have embraced it.
When Asked, She Plays It Cool
Rashmika’s reaction during the interview struck a balance between politeness and reservation. She didn’t deny the engagement outright, but she didn’t confirm it either. Her line — “there’s so many things happening” — became a subtle acknowledgment that her life is indeed going through a lot.
Many took the moment as her way of accepting good wishes without declaring anything publicly. Some saw it as her refusal to let rumors define her narrative. Others simply enjoyed her genuine, somewhat bashful smile and reaction.
What This All Means
For fans, the moment offered a glimpse into two narratives working in tandem: one of fan expectation and scrutiny, and another of a public figure managing media curiosity with grace.
By not locking into a definitive yes or no, Rashmika maintained control over the story. And by allowing her congratulations to stand — without outright denial — she gave admirers a notch of hope. Meanwhile, the buzz generated continues to magnify interest in Thamma, her upcoming projects, and the narrative of her personal life.
Their career overlap adds layers to the speculation. Rashmika and Vijay’s history — from Geetha Govindam to Dear Comrade — already had fans invested in their off-screen bond. An official confirmation will almost certainly become one of Tollywood’s biggest news stories. Until then, moments like the viral video do the job of keeping the conversation alive.
Whatever the truth ends up being, Rashmika’s poised, playful response turned a rumor into a viral moment — a strong reminder that sometimes silence speaks louder than statements.
