Did Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda tie the knot? Viral photos spark speculation

Rashmika Mandanna and Vijay Deverakonda are once again in the spotlight after a series of viral photos sparked speculation about a secret wedding. The images showed the actors in traditional wedding attire, posing with Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar on a flower-decorated stage, with a board behind them reading “Vijay and Rashmika.” Fans quickly reacted online, wondering if the couple had tied the knot privately. However, it has been confirmed that the pictures were AI-generated and do not reflect reality.

The viral images were shared by Instagram user Gunti Srikala Nagaraju, and they quickly circulated across social media platforms. In the photos, both actors were adorned with garlands and wedding ensembles, creating an impression of a real ceremony. Despite the visual realism, careful observation and reports confirmed that the images were digitally created.

Reports suggest that Vijay and Rashmika got engaged in October 2025. Sources close to the actors told NDTV that their engagement took place on October 3 at Vijay’s residence in Hyderabad. The intimate ceremony reportedly included only close family members and a few friends, making it a low-profile event. According to speculation, the couple is expected to tie the knot on February 26, 2026, at a luxurious palace in Udaipur, Rajasthan, though neither actor has officially confirmed the details.

Fans have been quick to spot hints of the couple’s engagement in recent months. In October, Rashmika shared a video of her pet dog Aura, where a sparkling ring on her finger caught viewers’ attention. Around the same time, Vijay was photographed at Sri Sathya Sai Baba Maha Samadhi wearing what appeared to be a matching band.

Their public appearances together have also drawn attention. In November, Vijay was seen kissing Rashmika’s hand at the success party of her film The Girlfriend, a moment that quickly went viral. The pair first met on the sets of Geetha Govindam (2018) and later worked together in Dear Comrade (2019), forming a close bond that fans continue to follow closely.

While the AI-generated wedding photos created a wave of excitement, the couple’s real-life celebrations and official announcements are still awaited. Fans are eagerly watching for updates as Rashmika and Vijay’s wedding date approaches.
