The rumor mill surrounding popular South Indian actors Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda has once again gone into overdrive, following their latest joint appearance at the Mumbai airport. The duo, who have long been the subject of dating speculation, were seen exiting the airport and getting into the same car, seemingly attempting to keep a low profile with masks covering their faces. This recent sighting has further ignited the persistent buzz about their off-screen relationship, leaving fans and media alike eager for a definitive answer.
For years, the undeniable on-screen chemistry between Rashmika and Vijay, particularly in their hit films like “Geetha Govindam” (2018) and “Dear Comrade” (2019), has led to widespread speculation about a romantic connection in real life. While both stars have consistently remained tight-lipped, neither confirming nor denying the rumors, their frequent public sightings and social media interactions have only added fuel to the fire.
This latest airport encounter, caught by the ever-present paparazzi, has once again brought their rumored romance to the forefront. Videos and pictures circulating online show Rashmika and Vijay separately exiting the airport, only to converge and get into the same vehicle. Despite their efforts to maintain discretion, the visual evidence has been enough for fans to draw their own conclusions.
The public’s fascination with their relationship is not new. Over the past year, eagle-eyed fans have often pointed out striking similarities in their social media posts, from shared vacation destinations to Rashmika frequently being photographed outside Vijay’s residence. There have also been instances where Rashmika has posted pictures, which fans have meticulously cross-referenced with Vijay’s home, leading to assumptions about him being the photographer or his family gifting her certain items. Notably, Rashmika was also seen watching her blockbuster film “Pushpa 2: The Rule” with Vijay’s family in a theatre last year, further hinting at a close bond.
Adding to the intrigue, both Rashmika and Vijay, in separate interviews in 2024, admitted to being in a relationship without explicitly naming their partners. These comments were widely interpreted by fans as subtle confirmations of their romance, leaving many convinced that a formal announcement might be on the horizon.
On the work front, both actors have busy schedules ahead. Rashmika is currently gearing up for the release of “Kuberaa,” co-starring Dhanush and Nagarjuna, which is set to hit theatres on June 20. Vijay, on the other hand, is preparing for his upcoming Telugu spy thriller, “Kingdom,” slated for a July 4 release. Vijay recently extended his best wishes to Rashmika and the “Kuberaa” team on social media, further highlighting their amicable professional relationship, if not something more.
As the “dating buzz” continues to heat up with each public appearance, fans remain hopeful that the popular duo will eventually offer clarity on their relationship status. Until then, every shared car ride and subtle social media hint will continue to be meticulously analyzed, keeping the speculation alive and well.
