Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna reportedly tied the knot on February 26, turning their long-rumoured relationship into one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings on social media.
After years of speculation, the couple is said to have finally begun a new chapter together.
Amid the celebrations, an old statement made by Rashmika during the pre-release event of Dear Comrade has resurfaced online and is now going viral.
At the event, Rashmika spoke about a tense situation that had unfolded at her home before she agreed to act in Dear Comrade alongside Vijay Deverakonda.
The two actors first shared screen space in the blockbuster Geetha Govindam, which became a huge hit and won them immense popularity as a pair.
During the shoot, they developed a close friendship, and fans often speculated that their bond gradually grew stronger over time.
However, Rashmika revealed that her decision to work again with Vijay in Dear Comrade was not initially welcomed by her family.
“Before I agreed to do Dear Comrade, there was a big fight at my house,” she said at the event. “My family members questioned why I should again act with Vijay Deverakonda. It became a serious argument at home.”
Despite the resistance, Rashmika said her decision was driven purely by the script.
“For me, the hero was not important. I loved the story very much, and that is why I decided I must do the film,” she explained.
At the same event, Vijay Deverakonda praised Rashmika’s dedication, saying she remained strong despite criticism and speculation around her choices.
Now, with the two actors reportedly starting their married life together, fans are delighted to see the popular on-screen pair finally become partners in real life.
