Popular celebrity couple Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda frequently grab headlines for their undeniable on-screen and off-screen chemistry. In a recent interview, Rashmika shared some deeply personal details about her relationship with Vijay, shedding light on how he supports and cares for her during her most vulnerable moments.
How Vijay Understands Her Pain and Mood Swings
Rashmika Mandanna opened up about how Vijay Deverakonda, despite never openly discussing periods at home, deeply understands what she goes through physically and emotionally. The actress describes herself as an open person who doesn't hesitate to express her feelings when things get difficult.
She explained that whenever she feels inexplicably sad or low without any specific reason, she immediately communicates it to Vijay. She warns him in advance that her period is approaching and makes it clear that she simply needs his presence and support during those days, keeping him well-informed beforehand.
Massaging Her Feet and Stomach for Relief
The actress elaborated that one cannot expect a man to magically alter biological realities. While acknowledging that Vijay cannot physically take away the pain, she finds immense comfort in knowing he stands firmly by her side. He massages her stomach and presses her hands and feet, believing that this is the best way he can ease her discomfort.
The Funny Story of Asking for Marriage 100 Times
The couple previously appeared on 'Koffee with Karan 9', where they made several candid revelations about their dynamic. During the show, they disclosed that Rashmika had asked Vijay for marriage nearly 100 times before he finally agreed. Vijay recalled that she kept bringing it up until he eventually acknowledged that she had asked him a hundred times.
Rashmika shared that she persisted with the question for an entire year. Explaining his stance, Vijay noted that he wasn't being difficult, but rather wanted to test their relationship through daily life struggles and challenging times to ensure she felt the exact same depth of love and commitment.
The duo stars together in the upcoming period drama 'Ranabali', set against the backdrop of the 1876-78 Great Madras Famine. The film brings a monumental historical chapter to the big screen, depicting resistance, survival, and vengeance. Set in the famine-ravaged region of Rayalaseema, the story revolves around a warrior named Singnamala Bobbili Ranabali, where mounting starvation and deprivation eventually spark a massive uprising against British administration.
Before tying the knot, Rashmika and Vijay established solid on-screen chemistry in earlier hits. They first shared screen space in the 2018 film 'Geetha Govindam', followed by the highly appreciated 2019 romantic drama 'Dear Comrade'. Now, they are capturing attention once again with their collaboration in 'Ranabali'.
While rumours about their romance circulated for years while they avoided addressing them publicly, the couple finally proved all speculations true by getting married on February 26, 2026. They celebrated their wedding in Rajasthan, performing traditional Telugu and Kodava wedding rituals.
