Vijay Deverakonda’s ‘Engagement’ Ring Sparks Frenzy; Rashmika Shares First Post

The long-running romance rumours surrounding Tollywood stars Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna have reached a fever pitch, following widespread reports of a secret engagement and the subsequent public appearance of Deverakonda seemingly sporting an engagement ring.

The Ring and the Temple Visit

Adding significant fuel to the wildfire of speculation, a video of actor Vijay Deverakonda on a spiritual visit has gone viral, with eagle-eyed fans focusing on a distinct ring visible on his finger. The Kingdom actor was recently seen visiting the Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s Prasanthi Nilayam ashram in Puttaparthi, Andhra Pradesh, accompanied by his parents and brother, Anand Deverakonda. During the visit, a flower-holding gesture captured on camera prominently displayed a ring on his left hand. This has been immediately interpreted by many on social media as the confirmation of his long-rumoured engagement to actress Rashmika Mandanna.

The family’s visit to the ashram, which holds personal significance as both Deverakonda brothers attended school there, comes just days after multiple reports surfaced claiming the couple had an intimate engagement ceremony at the actor’s Hyderabad residence on October 3. While the couple themselves have yet to make an official announcement, sources close to the actors have reportedly confirmed the engagement and suggested a wedding date in February 2026.

Rashmika Mandanna’s First Post-Rumour Update

Meanwhile, the Thamma actress, Rashmika Mandanna, shared her first social media post following the widespread engagement reports, though it steered clear of addressing the personal news directly. Rashmika took to her platform to share stills and behind-the-scenes moments from her upcoming film, Thamma, specifically highlighting the new song ‘Tum Mere Na Huye’.

In her post, the actress looked radiant and was seen in a gorgeous ensemble, while dedicating her caption to the surprise and hard work that went into filming the romantic track. She shared, “The story behind this song is that we were shooting at a very, very stunning location for about 10–12 days and on the last day, our producers and our director suddenly had a banging idea where they went like.. ‘wait, why don’t we shoot a song here..💃🏻 it’s a crazy cool location so .”

While her post was professional, fans flooded the comment section with congratulatory messages and playful requests for an official announcement about her personal life.

A Closely Watched Relationship

Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna, whose on-screen chemistry in films like Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade made them an instant favourite couple, have maintained a consistent silence on the true nature of their relationship over the years. Despite being spotted together on various private outings and vacations, they have successfully kept their personal lives away from the public eye.

The actors have, however, hinted at being in committed relationships in the past, without explicitly naming their partners. With the latest developments—the engagement ring sighting and the consistent flow of media reports—fans are convinced that a major announcement from the celebrated pair is now only a matter of time. The excitement is palpable as the industry and audience await official word on one of the most talked-about couplings in South Indian cinema.
